The 1931 DRACULA is a flawed film that survives on the strength of the performances by Lugosi, Edward Van Sloan, and Dwight Frye Junior.
Whatever its weaknesses, it is not have so overrated as NOSFERATU, which survives mostly on the basis of its undeserved reputation -- it's German and it's silent, so it must be a masterpiece!
Talk about the emperor's new clothes... this one is absolutely stark naked.
