Guys-
I'd go with, "a bit of all of the above."
Especially, as Tom says, when - actually only a few years later - Hammer offered, in a way, to do the heavy lifting for them.
It is odd, though, that Ray's point - new management decides to go High Brow (shades of CBS dumping their high-rated hick shows later!) - conflicts with Tom's "Hollywood Reporter" article of the same era? Maybe, again, Uni thought, "leave that to the other guy"? Interesting to ponder, though, if they TOO had just shifted gears (ala SON OF DRAC), to a slighty more American, "sophisticated," semi-Noir mode...
Does anyone know if there were even any Uni "maybe" projects, between A & C and the 50's Atom-Age horrors?
(Of course, Orson Welles spoke of trying a more Stoker "Drac" at around this time...)
Best,
-Craig W.
