Béla Lugosi was indeed a fine actor. Incidentally, most people mispronounce his name. First of all, in Hungarian an accent is used to mark a long vowel, not a stress, so the first name is pronounced Bay-la. Also all Hungarian names are accented on the first syllable, and an "s" is pronounced "sh" (the "s" sound is spelled "sz" as in the composer Liszt), so the full name is pronounced (caps indicate stressed syllable) "BAY-la LU-go-shee." And finally, Hungarians always put the family name first, so in Hungary he would be Lugosi Béla. Just in case you are interested!

A black cat on a ship in that era... she was doomed from the beginning. What a story line! Such great actors. Some claim they still see her and crew.

One of Bela's finest roles. He was one of the most under rated, unappreciated actors of his time, yet many thousands of us love him today! All who attempted Dracula fade in his shadow~ who among us doesn't recognize his name?

That was excellent. From start to finish.

Interestingly, this was considered his only true dramatic role. It was not considered a horror film. He wanted to play dramatic, comedic and romantic roles, but was typecast from "Dracula" on.

@prevost8686

5 жыл бұрын

It was inevitable that Dracula would typecast him. There’s never been an actor since him that was more “born” for that role. His accent, appearance, and mannerisms doomed him(or blessed him) to always be a horror fiend. His experience in Hollywood doesn’t make me feel any sense of pity for him. His wounds from WW1 that led to lifelong addiction to morphine, heroin, and alcohol do cause me to feel sorry for him. I’ve seen everything he’s ever done on film and I think I enjoy the serial series “The Phantom Creeps” the best. They were corny, low budget, and fun. I can still imagine the little boys of that day about to go crazy waiting to see what would happen on the next episode.

@JamesGilbert_

Even more interesting is that he was born before _Dracula_ was published. So the role that he was deemed "born to play", that he did so in two motion pictures and several times onstage, was a literary character that came into existence after he was already born. His death in the 1950s even puts into perspective how bizarre the passage of time can be.

This is a decently acted movie, but most definitely done prior to censorship.

When he is recruiting the cook, with the fiddle, that Chinese girl in the background looks rather nice. I think I would have taken her as cook.

This is a very dark film. Every male character in the film is a horrible man. Grey as the Captain's wife is somewhat decent, yet she is involved with the other sea captain and she is the reason for the betrayal between the two men. Even Margetson as Captain Briggs is a man full of conflicts. He appears decent to his wife yet acknowledges some of his crew has been shanghaied and he orders a beating when a sailor complains about food. The only decent human being is Lugosi. He is gentle with the cat. But he won't be gentle with those devils responsible for his current state.

All the comments are about Bela. I adore him, but there was a ship named the Mary Celeste, and this film has nothing to do with her real story.

+Wilhelm X I know its been 3 years since you posted but I thought I'd attempt an answer. Bela's character was obviously over-wrought, if not quite insane. I think he was both the gentle defender and the maniacal killer. When he got the knock on the head and fell to near unconsciousness and then woke up and then he woke up to realization and guilt for all the murder and mayhem he caused. He truly couldn't live with himself and so jumped overboard. At the very end, are you speaking of the savage scene? That is the jilted lover happy for what became of his former love and her husband.

Everyone on board the Mary Celeste had done themselves to the life they had. And the pretty girls also was a two-timing using low life. I am sure she learned that from her mother.

GREAT AMERICA MOVIE CLASSIC. ACTOR.LOVED HIS WORKS. FILM HISTORIAN AND MASTER ARTIST AND GREAT AMERICA FILM BUFFS CEO AND PRESIDENT.

Good movie. Yet the true accounts how it was found is friction. The ships captain who brought his wife and baby a board. On below deck the ships crew table was set food. It shows the crew starting to eat The ship show no signs of fowl play. The ships life boat was missing. There was no indication of anything wrong in the captains log. It believe they made one stop on a island. Before finishing the crossing on the Atlanta Ocean. Another fact they were going though the Bermuda Triangle. So whether it was simply bad luck or paranormal. With the crew gone. The ship and ocean will be keeping that secret for a very long time.
