MARGUERITE CHURCHILL & NAN GREY VAMPS 'DRACULA'S DAUGHTER'
 |
| Marguerite Churchill in DRACULA'S DAUGHTER Year: 1936 Rating: *** |
While far from a great Universal DRACULA sequel, his DAUGHTER, played by classic square-jawed beauty Gloria Holden, has terrific chemistry... but not with the man she wishes to spend eternity with...
In that, Otto Kruger is entirely miscast as a droll psychologist who helps Holden's enigmatic Countess Marya Zaleska become... well... the twist is, she's only pretending to need his help...

| Nan Grey and Gloria Holden in DRACULA'S DAUGHTER |
Who she's terrific working against is Kruger's gorgeous girlfriend/secretary Marguerite Churchill, the lanky and luscious WALKING DEAD scream-queen who playfully goads him against falling for this strange woman that he never really pays attention to, which is part of the problem...
What makes DRACULA'S DAUGHTER shine is her brooding/formidable Igor-type Irving Pinchel, who finds cute-as-a-button blonde ingenue Nan Gray for a semi-seductive, suspenseful neck-biting sequence that should have been much longer... so that Gloria Holden (eventually/predictably capturing Churchill) could truly live up to her anticipated title.
