Classic 1931 Movie at Lake Street, Outdoor Walk-In Movie Theatre
By Sue Hunter WeirÂ
In 1931, as Tod Browning was shooting Dracula with Bela Lugosi, George Melford was working from the same script on the same sets at night with a Spanish language cast and crew. Long thought lost, the film was re-found in the 1970s, showing how wildly different the films are. Many now argue Melford”'s film is the better version.
