Bela Lugosi filmography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bela Lugosi (1882–1956), best known for the original screen portrayal of Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1931, was in many movies during the course of his 39-year film career. He appeared in 11 silent films made in his native Hungary from 1917-1918, 11 silent films made in Germany in 1920, 5 silent films made in New York from 1923-1926 (including Punchinello), and then relocated to Hollywood in 1928 where his film career really took off. The following list is believed complete. Films are listed in strict chronological order of production. (see Bela Lugosi for his biography.)

Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula in 1931

1910s[]

Per Gary D. Rhodes and Bill Kaffenberger's book Becoming Dracula - The Early Years of Bela Lugosi, this is a list of confirmed film roles Lugosi has performed in.[1] Some films from other filmography sources are not included such as Star Film's Casanova (1918) where contemporary trade publications stated he will star in it, but in the released film, Alfréd Deésy played Casanova. Other films include Lili (1917) which had promotion and announcements that Lugosi would appear, but advertisements and reviews at the film's premiere in Budapest indicate that performed as Plinchard.[1]
