Dracula in İstanbul
Drakula İstanbul'da (Dracula in Istanbul) is a Turkish 1953 film version of Bram Stoker's original novel Dracula.
The screenplay was based on a 1928 novel by Ali Riza Seyfi called Kazıklı Voyvoda ("Vlad the Impaler"), and is more or less a translation of Stoker's novel, but there is no Renfield character and Güzin, the "Mina" character, is a showgirl given to performing in revealing outfits. Drakula/Dracula is played by balding Atif Kaptan. Both the novel and the film make an explicit connection with the historical Vlad the Impaler, the Prince (voivode) of Wallachia.
