Vampira (1974 film)

Vampira is a 1974 British comedy horror film directed by Clive Donner, and starring David Niven and Teresa Graves.

Dracula enthralls the hapless Marc to collect blood from three white women in hopes of restoring Vampira's original skin color.

The film was released theatrically in the United States by American International Pictures in 1975, under the title Old Dracula in an attempt to cash in on the success of director Mel Brooks 1974 horror movie spoof Young Frankenstein.

[3] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Jeremy Lloyd has constructed an entire screenplay on one-line jokes with a vampire theme, with a series of witless and repetitive gags. ...

As for the performances, Teresa Graves is very beautiful, Peter Bayliss provides amusement by overplaying in a desperate attempt to save the script and, much to his credit, almost succeeds, while Mr. Niven proves that even suavity cannot excuse the indignity of being blacked up.
