291 Scars of Dracula ( 1970 )

Hammer's  second  Dracula  film  of  the  year  is  much  better  and  re-visits  some  of  the  themes  of  the  first  film  with  Lee  once  again  acting  as  an  urbane  host  before  getting  down  to  business.  The  storyline  is  coherent  and  the  amount  of  blood  and  violence  reflects  the  time. However,   the  plastic  bats  belong  to  the  Bela  Lugosi  era.

Paul Carlson  ( Christopher  Matthews ) a  young  lothario  is  on  the  run  from  the  burgomaster  after  a  false  accusation  of  rape. He  ends  up  at  Dracula's  castle  and  does  not  return. His  more  sensible  brother  Simon  ( Dennis  Waterman )  and  fiance  Sarah  investgate  what  has  happened  to  him.

Jenny  was  the  daughter  of  actress  Dinah  Sheridan. This  was  her  first  substantial  film  role.
