J'en profite quand même pour préciser que, contrairement à ce qui est dit dans la bio, SOS Coast Guards n'est pas un serial miteux mais un vrai classique du genre, souvent cité dans la liste des dix meilleurs serials de tous les temps, réalisé par deux de ses meilleurs artisans, William Witney et John English et édité en France chez Bach Films.
La version espagnole de Dracula est dispo en France dans le coffret UNIVERSAL MONSTERS LEGACY : DRACULA qui propose tous les films des années 30-40 consacré au personnage. Il existe aussi un coffret FRANKENSTEIN, LA MOMIE, LE LOUP GAROU, L'HOMME INVISIBLE, LA CREATURE DU LAC NOIR tout aussi riches...
Sinon, concernant les chansons parlant de Bela, Nouvelle Vague a fait une reprise de la chanson de Bauhaus dans leur album Bande A Part et il faut aussi citer la chanson Celluloid Heroes des Kinks :
Citer:
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star,
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are.
There are stars in every city,
In every house and on every street,
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete!
Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard,
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne,
But she turned her back on stardom,
Because she wanted to be alone.
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,
And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by.
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
'Cos he's liable to turn and bite,
But stand close by Bette Davis
Because hers was such a lonely life.
If you covered him with garbage,
George Sanders would still have style,
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn round and smile,
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
'Cos she's not very tough,
She should have been made of iron or steel,
But she was only made of flesh and blood.
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of.
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are.
And those who are successful,
Be always on your guard,
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along Hollywood Boulevard.
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.
You can see all the stars as you walk along Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Oh celluloid heroes never feel any pain
Oh celluloid heroes never really die.
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.
Extrait de l'album Everybody's In Showbiz, Everybody's a star (1972), une des plus belles chansons du groupe de Ray Davies...
