#lugosi speaks

I have been thinking about Alcina calling MC Donna's pet for days now so have some more silly gay shit featuring basically what went through my head upon reading that little piece of dialogue 😅

"Oh, Donna! What a pleasant surprise to see you out of that shop for a ch-" professor Dimitrescu stops dead in her sentence, a nasty scowl overtaking her 'pleasantly surprised' face upon seeing Valeria. "And why, pray tell, is your PET with you?"

"Alcina!" Donna sounds absolutely livid and scandalized, glaring harshly at her adopted sister. "What would M-"

Donna goes on to presumably scold the professor, but Valeria can't focus on it when Alcina's words echo in her brain. 'Pet'... she really wouldn't mind being Donna's pet not that she was thinking of it. But what sort of pet? The novice botanist imagines herself with puppy ears, following her boss around and tending to her every whim. It was hardly a farfetched daydream, but something about it just doesn't stick.

Then an image comes to mind; the look on Donna's face when they saw a cat during their walk. She was completely enamoured. Valeria pictures the woman looking at HER like that, smiling like she were the most precious creature on the planet. Would Donna want it, she'd be more than happy to sport kitty ears and a bell collar to boot, curled up on the botanist's lap while she has her tea. Maybe Donna would even pet her head, calling her "mia cara gattina" or-

"Let's go," Donna's voice cuts through the girl's thoughts, hand claiming her own and pulling her towards a side room.

"Sì mammina," Valeria replies without thinking.

All three women go silent as Valeria feels her entire body combust. Donna looks rather red in the face herself, staring at her in shock and appall. Alcina looks as though the redhead had just proven a point of hers.

"The porcelain and marble working rooms are soundproof by the way," the professor chimes in, causing the flower shop workers to blush further. Donna tries to compose herself, grip tightening on Valeria's hand.

"Let's... get started on your project," she practically squeaks. Valeria can do nothing but nod dumbly and follow along, doing her best not to embarrass herself or Donna further.

I found this on the Bela Lugosi Blog, it's Lugosi's immigration declaration from Ellis Island, dated March 23, 1921.

And from the Ellis Island website, in a little entry about historic dates, it says this about Lugosi:

He had illegally entered the country in New Orleans in December 1920, failing to return to the merchant ship upon which he served as a crew member. Lugosi later surrendered to Immigration Service officials in NY and was brought to Ellis Island.

#bela lugosi #I wish he wouldve written memoirs or something #I feel like him getting from New Orleans to NYC must have been a fucking adventure #did he have contacts? did he even know where he was going? I know he didn't speak very much if any english at the time #how did he do it I wanna know

In conclusion: if that creepy intense guy you got stuck with on the train then invites you to his friend's house, maybe don't go.

The Black Cat is a little incoherent - it's only 65 minutes long and it's trying to cram a hell of a lot of stuff into that short run time. Lingering scars of WWI, weird incest, revenge, Satanist cults, torture, an unexplained collection of dead women in glass boxes, plus a cute couple on their honeymoon who don't want anything to do with any of this. It doesn't all gel properly, but Lugosi and Karloff are so compelling and convincing that you don't care. We only get hints and gestures of Poelzig and Werdegast's backstories and relationships but man, I would read a whole novel about those two. Any relationship that boils down to "I hate you passionately and we're headed for mutual destruction but we are both so damaged by each other that you are now the only person who understands me" is always really compelling to me.

Plus, you get to look at a really gorgeous spooky house for most of the run time! And there's a cat - the cat is in no way important or plot relevant, but at least it's present.

#sara's cinema corner #the black cat #i also like that there's a scene where you get to actually hear lugosi speak hungarian #it's nice

Wonder how everyone who said "lol Dracula adaptations are stupid for making him look somewhat younger and not give him the white hair" feels now

#rubia speaks #Dracula Daily #Dracula #i'll bite you all for insinuating that casting Bela Lugosi as Drac and having him look as he did was a Mistake

I found a Bela Lugosi? Scarf at a local thrift store today, didn’t buy it though.

I did buy a really soft faux fur cowl and a neat scarf though. The neat scarf is for a troll costume/cosplay I plan on doing, and the faux fur cowl will be used in whatever sewing project I see fit.

Lost Media: Bela Lugosi is most famous today for his role as Count Dracula in the classic 1931 film, but for a time he was also in consideration to be the first person to play Frankenstein’s monster on camera. Instead, the role ultimately went to Boris Karloff, but years later Lugosi would finally get a chance to play the monster in 1943’s Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man.

After the film’s release, most critics panned Lugosi’s portrayal of the monster, saying it felt stiff and awkward. What was unknown to most at the time however is that audiences only got to experience half of Lugosi’s performance.

Originally, Lugosi’s monster was supposed to be able to speak, having recently acquired a new brain. However, test audiences were critical of Lugosi’s dialogue, so the audio of it was completely cut from the final release without changing anything else. The problem is, without being able to hear Lugosi speak, his performance makes much less sense in the film. An example of this is that his character in this film is also supposed to be blind, but because we never hear him comment on it we don’t know why the monster is lurching about, arms outstretched, in what has today become the stereotypical ‘Frankenstein walk.’

To this day fans wonder if a cut of the film with Lugosi’s dialogue might ever be found. After originally getting passed up for the role and then spending years hoping for another chance, it seems a shame audiences have never gotten to witness his full performance in the role.

Played through the Donna good end route on @resident-lover and had to do something with our favourite dollmaker's little flirt about drawing her during work.

So have a little post good end moment between her and my MC with as much awkwardness and gay panicking as should be expected.

"Can I draw you?" Valeria asks quickly and loudly, grasping the arm of Donna's chair with white knuckles. The botanist quirks an eyebrow at the younger woman, amused.

"You already know I don't mind, tesorina," she laughs teasingly, a sparkle in her eyes. It had been months since the two officially started dating, and things were going great, but still when Donna looked at her like that she couldn't help but feel like her next request would be stupid. Taking a deep breath, she readies herself and just rips the metaphorical bandaid off.

"Can I draw you like an Italian girl?" Valeria asks again, voice pitching embarrassingly. She watches anxiously as Donna's face blooms red and her jaw drops slightly, her eyes widening like a deer in headlights. Fuck! She shouldn't have asked that! It had just been a silly meaningless flirt the older woman had made to test the waters back then, why did Valeria think to bring it up again? She quickly pushes back and out of Donna's space, fully ready to fumble out an excuse to leave and die of embarrassment somewhere else.

"I'm sorry! Forget I said anything, I'm gonna go make us some tea or-"

"Dolcézza, wait!" Donna hurriedly responds, seeming to have gotten her bearings. She takes Valeria by the arm possessively, pulling her down so their eyes are level. "You... are asking me to pose for you," she blushes again as she squeaks out, "nude?"

The redhead nods slowly, her own cheeks heating up at the thought of her love agreeing. "Yeah- but! But only if you're comfy with that!" She says firmly, staring intently into Donna's eyes to let her know it really is okay to say 'no'. Her concern appears wasted though as a cheeky grin graces Donna's face.

"I was... sort of hoping you'd have asked again after we were interrupted the first time," she admits. Valeria's head feels about ready to explode with the way that small confession makes blood rush to her face. Donna truly was insatiable with her desire for the botanist in training. Feeling emboldened, Valeria leans in until their lips are nearly brushing and responds.

"Then let me help you undress and get ready."

Those few seconds where Bela Lugosi speaks Hungarian in The Black Cat.

I really wanted to find more footage of him speaking Hungarian but unfortunately I think this might be the only time he did on film (and I think all his European movies were silent films)

#bela lugosi #the black cat 1934 #sorry i kinda cropped it and ended it like .5 seconds too early bc i dont know wtf im doing #that first guy really tried then bela just waltzes up and speaks so smoothly lol #classic films #classic horror

[hotvintagepoll]

This is a three-way poll. Only one of these men will continue to the third round of the bracket.

Propaganda

Turhan Bey (The Climax, Arabian Nights, Prisoners of the Casbah)—Turkish matinee idol who actually got to break out of the mold of "sinister racist villain parts" to play romantic leading men

Bela Lugosi (Dracula)—no propaganda submitted beyond this link to a Tumblr gifset and this link to a Tumblr photo

Michael Redgrave (The Lady Vanishes)—my beautiful bisexual hot linguist geek dandy nerd. I'm specifically nominating him for "The Lady Vanishes," but how can you not love him in this—it's a strikingly modern performance, not a whiff of old school macho masculinity; he starts the movie as a bit of a cad, thoughtless and self-absorbed, but the second our heroine's in trouble he's attentive, he's helpful, he's running around speaking languages and helping her with international spycraft shenanigans and just being so funny and warm and JOYOUS. (and again. he is SO bisexual. see the picture [attached below]). he's hot in the debate club twink kinda way and i've never wanted to smooch an idiot more

This is round 2 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.
