Storyline
Did you know
- ConnectionsReferences Dracula (1931)
This is a slightly funny film with funny as well as bewildering events , giggles , craziness , twists and lots of fun . This bemusing movie is packed with crazy humor , tongue-in-cheek , slapdash and slapstick , a steady stream of gags , lively situations abound , sheer belly laughs , too much amusing and to be perfect for the public . Vampiric comedy by Pedro Lazaga in his usual style , in addition imitating with sympathy enough the clichés around the bloodsucking procedures of a Dracula lookalike, addresses emigration as a way to improve life, ironizes with social rites about the "European standard of living" in similar style to " Vente a Alemania , Pepe" and caricaturizes the urban work stress, which makes the life of the citizens revolve around their works, detaching from the personal and family life. The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with some moments frankly hilarious and others ridiculous and embarrassing . The story is set in a decent way with rainy and night environments in an isolated mansion with adequate production design located in castle of San Martín de Valdeiglesias, Madrid, and Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Germany , including spacious rooms, a pipe organ adorned with paintings of skeletons, creaking doors , sounds of theremin and parodic-absurd features . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with some disconcerting , embarrassing and picaresque situations . As the outlandish vicissitudes of the starring are so repetitive and the most part results to be rich in absurdities and implausibilities . Un vampiro para dos (1965) follows the wake from classic parody or spoof films , in Budd Abbot and Lou Costello Hollywood wake , such as : "Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein" or "Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" , and subsequently ¨The Fearless Vampire Killers¨ (1967) by Roman Polanski ¨Dracula: Dead and Loving It¨ (1995) by Mel Brooks or ¨Love at First Bite¨ (1979) by Stan Dragoti . And anticipating further successes in this subgenre with Spanish actors as Andrés Pajares , Chiquito de la Calzada or Martes y Trece in films as "Brácula: Condemor II" , "Brujas magicas" , "El Liguero Mágico" or "Aquí huele a muerto... (¡pues yo no he sido!)" .

Director Pedro Lazaga made , during the fifties and early sixties , eight films , mostly comedies : ¨Muchachas De Azul¨, Ana Dice Si¨. ¨Luna De Verano¨, ¨Económicamente Debiles¨ , ¨Trio Damas¨ for screenwriter and producer Jose Luis Dibildos and his ¨Agata Films Productions¨.
