	Movies - Love At First Bite

Love At First Bite is a 1979 comedy horror movie directed by Stan Dragoti, which stars George Hamilton, Susan Saint James, Richard Benjamin and Arte Johnson.

Plot

Count Dracula (Hamilton) is expelled from his castle by the Communist government of Romania. He travels to New York City with his bug-eating assistant Renfield (Johnson), and establishs himself in a hotel, but only after his coffin is accidently sent to be the centerpiece in a funeral at a black church. Dracula suffers the general ego-crushing that comes from modern life in the Big Apple as he pursues fashion model Cindy Soundheim (Saint James), whom he has long believed to be the reincarnation of his true love. Dracula is ineptly pursued in turn by Soundheim's psychiatrist and quasi-boyfriend Jeffery Rosenberg (Benjamin) who is the grandson of Dracula's old nemesis Abraham Van Helsing. (He changed his name to something Jewish "for professional reasons.") In the end, as a major blackout hits the city, Cindy pays off her (enormous) bill to Rosenburg and willingly becomes Dracula's vampire bride. As bats, they fly off to Rio de Janeiro together, leaving Dracula's cape with Rosenburg, who hopes that it will help him on the dating scene.

Trivia

Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford, the stars of the TV show The Jeffersons, both make cameo appearences in the film.

Sequel

Various serious attempts have been mounted at making a sequel to the film, but none have yet succeeded.
