Bela Lugosi Meets The Spanish Dracula
A video comparing the two versions scene-by-scene. If you are unaware why there is a such a thing as the "Spanish Dracula":

quote:Many viewers consider the Spanish version superior. Judge for yourself.
In the late 1920s, Hollywood studios depended on the successful exportation of their films to other countries. While silent films could easily be sold to other countries, sound film could not. By 1928, the preferred approach to the foreign-language market was to develop more than one version of a film using the same script, sets and costumes of the English-language original, but employing different actors who could speak the languages such as French, Spanish or German. In an April 30 issue of the Hollywood Filmograph, it was declared that Spanish-language films were "all the go and producers [were] spending millions of dollars on them". In February 1930, Universal announced that Paul Kohner would supervise numerous foreign-language productions, including several shot in Spanish. That September, Universal focused primarily on making Spanish-language versions of films for the potential market.
A Spanish-language version of Dracula was announced on October 1, 1930 with George Melford hired to direct, with actors Lupita Tovar and Carlos Villarías. Melford was a former actor who had made several directorial credits including the Rudolph Valentino film The Sheik (1921). After several years with Paramount, he began working at Universal often handling the directorial duties on Spanish version of studio films. These included the Spanish-language version of The Cat Creeps. Although Carl Laemmle Jr. is credited as the producer, the hand-on supervisor was 27-year-old Paul Kohner. The screenplay, which was adapted by Baltasar Fernández Cué from the English-language version by Garrett Fort, differs from the latter by expanding several dialogue exchanges, rearranging scenes and adding additional material with Renfield's flustered comic relief keeper, Martin.

Francis & Marion Cockrell met as Tulane students in the 1920s, and married in 1931.
New Year's Eve, 1939
They became successful writers, working (sometimes together, sometimes solo) on short stories, novels and screenplays. Francis (the grandson of a Confederate general by the same name) would write many episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, some in collaboration with Marion.
Interview with Amanda Cockrell -- Their daughter gives some details about their life
Marion co-wrote the screenplay for this 1944 suspense thriller (Francis was busy in The Marines*), from a novel they wrote together:
A young woman survives a U-boat attack and travels to the Louisiana plantation of her aunt and uncle to recuperate. But all is not what it seems...
Dark Waters (watch on YT)
*"He joined the Marines and was trained as a combat cameraman (movie film, not stills) because he had amateur photography experience. He wouldn't go to Officers Candidate School because he didn't want to leave the young kids he had trained with, so he was a tech sergeant. He was part of the invasion of Iwo Jima."

This is very impressive, it's basically you talking to yourself for 8 years.

It is good work, but after the first page or so I was thinking dang, no one is really responding much.
