David happens to be an activist for a nonprofit group that lobbies heavily against the death penalty.
David has maintained his innocence from the get-go, but he lost the case thanks to an incompetent lawyer.
David is supposed to seem like a checkered character, so Randolph gives him a drinking problem (first choice among all scriptwriters, it seems), marital trouble and a scene in which David is conned by an ex-student into a heavy-breathing quickie, only to see her turn around and falsely accuse him of rape.

 Dracula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Invasion literature was at a peak, and Stoker's formula of an invasion of England by continental European influences was by 1897 very familiar to readers of fantastic adventure stories.
Shakespearian actor and friend of Stoker's, Sir Henry Irving was a real-life inspiration for the character of Dracula, tailor-made to his dramatic presence, gentlemanly mannerisms and speciality playing villain roles.
In 1927 the story was adapted for the Broadway stage by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston and starred Bela Lugosi (Hungarian-born actor) and Edward Van Sloan as the Count and Van Helsing respectively.

 Film | John Justin
The stage and film actor John Justin, who has died aged 85, first came to prominence with his appearance in the 1939 blockbuster, The Thief Of Baghdad.
A lighter-hearted actor than producers expected in heroic roles, he mischievously mocked the audition for his part as Prince Achmad with the young Indian actor Sabu.
What brought Justin British stardom was the character of test pilot Philip Peel in David Lean's The Sound Barrier (1952), especially his affecting scenes with Dinah Sheridan; and as Terence Rattigan's romantic hero in the Harold French film, The Man Who Loved Redheads (1954).

A few hours later, while the other caravan members sat in a solemn circle and the cameras rolled, Chan stood out and introduced himself with Jimmy Stewart's self-deprecation as "the guy who almost stabbed David Peel today."

The David Peel incident and its curious aftermath may be cut from the finished version of the movie being made of the caravan's trip or perhaps made light of.

For a bunch of guys who admittedly spent the majority of their waking hours stoned, David Peel and his cohorts exhibited the sort of traits one would normally associate with methedrine freaks: they were energetic, lively and put out some crude’n’rude energy behind furiously ramshackle and noisy backing.
Peel’s brief pro-pot rant “The Pledge of Allegiance” follows, sounding like an outtake from the field recordings done on the streets of New York for the “Have A Marijuana” album, then it’s directly back into the studio with the aforementioned “Tequila” vamp, “Legalize Marijuana”.
But the reckless Peel was not to be stopped: he re-emerged two years later signed to Apple through his associations with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, with that label releasing his third album, “The Pope Smokes Dope”.

 Hammer Film Productions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hammer's horror films featured many of the same actors in recurring roles; these actors are sometimes called the "Hammer repertory company".
Hammer's first significant experiment with horror came in the form of a 1955 adaptation of Nigel Kneale's BBC Television science fiction serial The Quatermass Experiment, which was directed by Val Guest.
As a consequence of the contract with Robert Lippert, American actor Brian Donlevy was imported for the lead role, and the title was changed to The Quatermass Xperiment to cash in on the new X certificate for horror films.

 Brides of Dracula, Peter Cushing, Hammer Films 1960
(Watch for his signature spiral pillars in the main castle.) Michael Ripper, a regular character actor in several of the Hammer Dracula films, has a tiny role here as the coachman at the start; his face is half-covered in every shot.
David Peel was not given much to work with in the role, but he also simply looks ridiculous whenever he bares his fangs.
Another weakness is the laughably thick white makeup slathered on the faces of the vampire "brides," which looks all the more incongruous since the rest of their skin has its natural color.
