Expatriate Francis Lederer is a cultured menace in UA's revisit of the Dracula myth, made just before Hammer Films staked its claim on the horror genre. Avid Hitchcock fans may find the storyline very familiar, when European cousin Bellac strikes up a 'special' relationship with his American cousin Rachel. The Return of Dracula Blu-ray Olive Films 1958 / B&W / 1:85 widescreen / 77 min. / Street Date October 18, 2016 / available through Kino Lorber / 29.95 Starring Francis Lederer, Norma Eberhardt, Ray Stricklyn, Virginia Vincent, John Wengraf.

Premiere week wasn't a fluke.
Five weeks into the fall season, broadcasters have managed to maintain strong ratings for an eclectic collection of new shows that drew large debut audiences. Fox's "Glee," ABC's "Modern Family," the CW's "The Vampire Diaries" and CBS' "NCIS: Los Angeles" have continued to impress, and that's but a partial list of promising newcomers.
With these freshman success stories, one might think broadcasters would see boosted ratings. But three networks are down compared with last year -- partly because of the effect of DVRs, partly because of top-rated veteran shows losing traction and, in the case of NBC, partly because of the loss of dramas at 10 p.m. and no new breakout hits.
The report card for the fall season so far:
CBS
The pieces of its schedule have snapped into place with precision: Putting "NCIS: La" after "NCIS" -- click. "The Big Bang Theory" with...
