	Christopher Lee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Christopher Frank Carandini Lee (born May 27, 1922 in London) is a prolific British actor known for his versatility and film longevity.
		Lee was a natural choice for the Lord of the Rings movies, where he plays the role of Saruman, as he makes it a habit of reading the novel at least once a year.
		Lee sings on The Wicker Man soundtrack -- in character as the modern pagan noble in the film -- performing Paul Giovanni's psych folk composition, The Tinker of Rye.

	BBC Radio Collection: Christopher Lee
		To tie in with the release of This Sceptred Isle: The Dynasties, we interviewed Christopher Lee, the creator and writer of the award-winning radio history of Britain.
		Christopher Lee: The Dynasties is about the most powerful families in the British Isles in the past thousand years.
		These are the families who have been the powers behind the throne – and, in some cases, the usurpers of that power and throne.

		Christopher Lee, acclaimed author of This Sceptred Isle, unfolds its story from first-hand accounts and original documents to mirror the seminal year in which Britain moved from Tudor medievalism towards the wars, republicanism and regicide that lay ahead.
		Christopher Lee tells its story from firsthand accounts and original documents to mirror the seminal year in which Britain moved from Tudor medievalism toward the wars, republicanism, and regicide that lay ahead.
		Though Lee falls for a classic schoolboy-Latin trap ("O rare Ben Johnson" has nothing to do with the poet's uncommonness) and seems sometimes to be channeling a period ghostwriter ("The people of James's green and pleasantland would prosper and breed as they might anyway have done"), his narrative moves well and neatly weaves many threads.

		Christopher Lee, still best known for his brilliant work as Count Dracula was born to play Rasputin and his performance is the thing that really inpresses in this film effort.
		Christopher Lee of course makes perfect casting as Rasputin and frequent costar Barbara Shelley gives a great performance in the role of the love struck and ultimately tragic Sonia who in real Russian history is undoubtedly a combination of a few individuals.
		Christopher Lee turns in one of his finest performances as the monk who uses his hypnotic and shamanistic skills to manipulate his way into the royal household in pre-revolutionary Russia.

		Christopher Lee had better watch it or the Sangh parivar will be after him, too, and ask him to resign as, well, Christopher Lee.
		For one thing, Lee is knowledgeable about Jinnah because he carefully researched the history and character of the founder of Pakistan before taking on the lead role in the 1998 film, Jinnah.
		Though Lee, now aged 83, will always be remembered as Count Dracula, today’s young generation will associate him with the character of Count Dooku, who comes to a sticky end in the latest Star Wars movie, Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith.

		Chris Schreiber was best known in the reenacting community for his talents as a shoemaker and leatherworker, having produced scores of brogans, kepis, knapsacks and superbly crafted leather goods.
		While many in reenacting call themselves "living historians", Chris truly "lived" the history, totally immersing himself in his craft and the history surrounding it.

		Lee is compelling as Dracula: articulate and elegant, yet feral.
		Christopher Lee could replace his predecessor Bela Lugosi as Count, This film is a great example for Lee as Count.
		Perhaps he was trying to compensate appearing with Lee and Cushing, but I felt the director should have reined him in a bit as he wasn't the star of the film.

	Scars of Dracula reviewed by Sean Patrick Dolan for Cinema Nocturna
		The fires gut the castle, but when the villagers return to the church where they safeguarded their women, they are met with a gory scene of violent death, just as a large bat flies out the window.
		Christopher Lee turns in another magnificent performance in his signature role; tall, regal, pallid, with blood red eyes and just a touch of gray on his widow's peak.
		This is an excellent documentary directed by Colin Webb which features Lee himself sitting down and talking about his acting career (up to 1996, the year the documentary was filmed) and showing off pieces of memorabilia from his films.

	SCARS OF DRACULA
		This is the most enjoyable of Lee's Anchor Bay commentaries so far, as Hearns smoothly and unobtrusively moderates the conversation to allow Baker to get a word in edgewise now and again and to prevent Lee from rambling on and on.
		Lee closes out the documentary with obviously heartfelt words of remembrance in honor of his friends, the late Peter Cushing and Vincent Price.
		Musical debacles aside, Christopher Lee is the last "living legend" of horror cinema.

	EI > DVD > Scars of Dracula: Limited Edition (1970)
		While Christopher Lee is given more screen time and dialogue than in the 4 prior outings, that alone is not enough to make up for the film's flaws.
		The film was heralded for one particular shot of Lee scaling the wall of his castle in a batlike manner.
		Hammer fans and Christopher Lee fans will want this for the permanent library despite the fact that the movie itself isn't that good.

		The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova">The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
		Kostova’s book tells the story of an unnamed young protagonist, the daughter of an American historian and diplomat living in Europe, who finds a mysterious book in her father’s study: a very old and sinister book, empty of print but for one page, the central page, featuring a woodcut of a fearsome crowned dragon.
		In the process, she also discovers, to her peril, that her family’s secrets are intertwined with the history of a great evil winding its dragonish way through the centuries, from the fall of Constantinople to the present Age of Terrorism: the history of the “real” Dracula.

	SCARS OF DRACULA
		Even Christopher Lee himself weighed in at the release with a disapproving quote, calling the film "the weakest and most unconvincing of the Dracula stories." But he would later change his mind, as the new DVD release shows.
		Lee, of course, is a treat, absolutely full of himself and every bit deserving of it, and full of tidbits about his long battles with the studio that made him a star, or vice versa, depending on whose side you're on.
		Both are duets; one has Lee singing "O Sole Mio" in Italian admirably well while Curtis sings "It's Now or Never." The other is an embarrassing country tune called "She'll Fall for Me"the less said about that the better.

	In search of Dracula
		And in the performances of actors like Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, the vampire was hammed out of all resemblance to the fierce feudal lord who had inspired the story.
		The Historian is set in three time periods (1930, the early 1950s and the early 1970s) and begins with a 16-year-old girl discovering a macabre old book in her father's library, a picture of a dragon spread across its centre pages.
		Over a series of journeys around central and eastern Europe with her diplomat-father, she learns in fragments the tale of a quest to discover the tomb of Vlad Tepes, and of separate obsessive searches carried out by her parents, and by her father's adviser, Professor Rossi.

		Christopher Lee in a violent Dracula tale, with some sexy Hammer women, too!
		I used to watch all the Hammer Studio films when I was a kid - and my favorites were of the Dracula / vampire variety, especially when they featured Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing - and when the films were in a historical, rather than a modern setting.
		Dracula, portrayed again by Christopher Lee, employs a few vampire brides, an army of vampire bats, and his ever-faithful manservant Klove (Patrick Troughton) to commit atrocities on the town, and anyone else who is caught wandering in the darkness.
