Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) and his son Ferdinand (Bernard Menez) differ on the subject of vampires because Ferdinand becomes squeamish at the sight of blood. Now, the Communists take over the family's Transylvania castle, and they are banished from Romania. The Count and Ferdinand go their separate ways until they reunite in Paris where they meet beautiful Nicole (Marie-Helene Breillat), and both fall in love with her. Nicole chooses Ferdinand and accidentally exposes the Count to sunlight, which makes him disappear. A few years later, Nicole and Ferdinand have married and have two children. While playing, the daughter cuts her knee, causing the son to sprout fangs–and the family spirit continues.

This movie was banned in a number of cities in the 1970s, but by today's standards it is relatively tame. In fact, the director and stars were convicted of obscenity charges in Italy. It is the story of the torrid love affair between middle-aged American businessman Paul (Marlon Brando) and young Parisian Jeanne (Maria Schneider). Academy award nominations were received for Best Actor (Brando) and Director.
