Lucifer's Women

Loosely based on the 1894 George du Maurier novel Trilby, the film was completed in 1974, and premiered theatrically under the alternate title Svengali the Magician in December 1974 in San Francisco.In 1978, director Al Adamson salvaged footage from the film and reworked it into an entirely different feature titled Doctor Dracula, which starred John Carradine.He subsequently attempts to court Trilby, a naive and virginal exotic dancer whom he encountered at a nightclub where he performs his illusionist act.[4] Jeanne Miller of The San Francisco Examiner panned the film as a failure "on every level," criticizing it for its focus on exploitation and sex over its horror elements.[5] In 1978, director Al Adamson salvaged footage from Lucifer's Women, reworking it into the separate feature Doctor Dracula, starring John Carradine.
