 | | Lee later wrote that he identified with Dracula's "stillness, punctuated by bouts of manic energy" his power complex - and by no means least the fact that he was an embarrassing member of a great and noble family". | | | Lee was wonderful as the million-dollars-a-hit super-assassin Francisco Scaramanga, he of keen aim and three nipples. | | | Lee was far too proud and professional to be anything other than massively disgruntled - though his contract prevented him from being publicly blistering. |

| | Christopher Lee: His Italian Journey into Perversion |
| | Lee's first horror adventure in Italy was a pastiche of his Dracula role in Steno's comedy Uncle was a Vampire (Tempi Duri per i Vampiri, 1959). | | | This is emphasised in his ability, as a character amongst other characters within the underworld, the realm of the dead, to reanimate the dead, who must therefore be deader-than-dead. | | | Because the ghost is invisible the scene could be described as autoerotically asphyxophilic, or as a death presented purely as a spectacle for our pleasure. |
