Who played DRACULA'S DAUGHTER? Well, it's Gloria Holden of course. And she's amazing. Too bad she never did another horror film.
And what a shame the studio cut Bela Lugosi's part. (He was originally meant to appear to a prologue with her.) Still, the beginning of the film, where she steals his body and burns it, conveys a tremendous sense that this sequel is taking place immediately after the end of DRACULA. And I suppose that might have been lost if they'd used the prologue. Still it might have kept poor Bela's career from taking that instant, irreversible plunge. I mean, look what the FRANKENSTEIN sequels did for Karloff.
