Nice! Which actor’s portrayal of the role did you lean on? Dwight Frye’s performance in Dracula is one of my favorites in any horror movie. In fact, Dracula (1931) is one of my favorite movies of any genre.

I always go back to Casablanca, when Renault is told to "make up" an excuse to shut down Rick's bar.

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Renault: Oh, thank you very much.

I always go back to Casablanca, when Renault is told to "make up" an excuse to shut down Rick's bar.

That is probably my favorite movie (it is hard to pick just one, but it has been in my top five for 40 years running), and that scene is perfect.

Bogart was created to play Rick. Bergman is absolutely luminescent. Heinrad nails the nobility and trust. Veitd, Greenstreet, Lorre, Sakall, Wilson, and Lebeau are all amazing as supporting characters. But Claude Rains glues that movie together. Such an amazing role for him.

It was a high school adaptation of the play, so Renfield was very much the comedy relief, and it was played very broadly. My teacher wasn't interested in going more subtle, so it was Frye's version, pushed out a bit more.

My favorite line to this day: Van Helsing: I have the stake. Renfield: And I'll make the salad!
