Ken Russell's Dracula - Paperback

Ken Russell was a successful photographer before being hired as an independent filmmaker by the BBC. Between 1959 and 1970 he made thirty-five 35mm films for the BBC that advanced the art of filmmaking in England and which are still mostly unavailable. He enjoyed worldwide box-office success with Women in Love (1969), The Music Lovers (1970) and Tommy (1975) and, in Britain in the 1970s, he had more number-one hit films than any filmmaker. Ken Russell made the last great (and least expensive) M.G.M musical, The Boy Friend (1971). His 1971 feature film, The Devils is increasingly recognised as being the boldest and the finest film made by an Englishman.
