Tarkin chilling on his day off:

[scarlet-came-back-wrong]

The early Christopher Lee is a freeing alternative to Lugosi. There is nothing foreign in his line readings: he rattles through the familiar speeches with brisk, British efficiency, making them as suitable for a London corporation as for a Transylvanian fortress. Lee's castle is spacious and modem, full of expensive furniture, abounding in sinuous columns and candelabra, its colorful rooms have just been painted; even its crypt ls sparkling. Anyone in the Hammer target audience would covet this art deco home, a pointed contrast to Lugosi's unlivable mausoieum. Lee's decor announces his allegiance to a sleek future, not a dusty past; his Castle Dracula is a streamlined respite from the suffocating clutter of the virtuous family's Victorian home. Before Van Helsing throws his curtains open, Lee himself has let the light in on a timid, claustrophobic domesticity.
