So glad the book has inspired all this wonderful commentary. 
I was always out numbered with my friends when I even hinted that Browning's DRACULA was one of the best films of the classic era.  Thanks to Gary's book, I can now say that without having to wear a bullet-proof vest! 
It's a new day for Browning and his film. 
Don't forget that Medford had the advantage of studying Browning's rushes and was able to try and  one-up him.  Yet he still was not able to reign in Rubio or Carlos V.

Hey Rak, I think you have to down another one or two over the mention of the Medford's Browning cut!  Should I send you some Bromo Seltzer??  Do they still make Brioschi.
