Creative Control and Artistic Ownership Dispute
F.W. Murnau I will not allow you to destroy my picture!

Reflections on Dracula's Solitude
Max Schreck It made me sad.
[of the novel [[Dracula (novel)|''Dracula'']
Albin Grau Why sad?
Max Schreck Because Dracula had no servants.
Albin Grau I think you missed the point of the book, Count Orlock.
Max Schreck Dracula hasn't had servants in 400 years and then a man comes to his ancestral home, and he must convince him that he... that he is like the man. He has to feed him, when he himself hasn't eaten food in centuries. Can he even remember how to buy bread? How to select cheese and wine? And then he remembers the rest of it. How to prepare a meal, how to make a bed. He remembers his first glory, his armies, his retainers, and what he is reduced to. The loneliest part of the book comes... when the man accidentally sees Dracula setting his table.
Albin Grau Count Orlok, the theatre needs you!
