Title: Adjunct book about Bela Lugosi
Review: Lugosi: The Man Behind the Cape was authorized by his son Bela Jr. One might expect more under those circumstances. Unfortunately, there isn't an awful lot of personal information or new insight. Most of Lugosi's effects were with his last wife, Hope. We do get more access to previous wife Lillian and her perspective, since she was Bela Jr's mother. The best part of the book is the opening chapter about Lugosi's admission to the hospital for drug rehab. The rest of the book never quite lives up to this beginning, however. If you want a definitive, well researched book on the subject, obtain Arthur Lennig's book: The Immortal Count. Howard Roller
