fans thought differently , however , and lapped up dracula has risen from the grave , making it one of the most profitable and successful films in the entire series . director freddie francis replaced terence fisher following that latter worthy’s injury in a car accident , but brought a style to the film which sets it apart , certainly from its successors .

hammer’s third entry proper in their dracula saga came on the back of their queen’s award to industry . james carreras had sold the package of dracula has risen from the grave to american distributors warner - seven arts on the strength of christopher lee appearing in the title role ; no such assurance had been sought from lee , who was appalled at the prospect of another dracula movie , and only conceded when a pay hike was offered .

a masterpiece of style , dracula has risen from the grave makes the most of freddie francis’ adventurous flair as a director and , coupled with arthur grant’s stunning cinematography , manages to create a nightmarish world , beautifully set among the rooftops of fictitious keinenburg . the film has style , substance and above - average acting , making it a truly classic and evergreen hammer horror .

i am a huge dracula fan . i ' ve always loved the christopher lee version of dracula . when i saw the first one horror of dracula i fell in love with it . after that i saw dracula prince of darkness it was even better than the first one ! after prince of darkness i went in order and watched . . . risen from the grave and it was amazing ! . in dracula has risen from the grave it leaves off from prince of darkness when dracula drowns under water . i was amazed how dracula had just risen out of the cold frozen water . a local priest is put under dracula ' s spell and goes bad . dracula hides out in a local bar and preys on the the bar maid zena . zena as well as the priest is put under dracula ' s spell and is soon asked to preform a task for dracula . unfortunately zena fails her task for dracula , and dracula destroyed zena and orders for the priest to burn her in the fire place . the gore and blood is very unrealistic which makes the movie easy to handle . i loved it and i think you will to .

anyone who made fun of the pale attempts at series continuity in the old universal monster movies has to wince at the opening of dracula has risen from the grave . dracula ' s castle has moved to the top of a mountain without the access of any kind of road , and the frozen moat that imprisoned chris lee at the conclusion of dracula prince of darkness is now a stream barely big enough for the actor to lie down in . it was at this point that lee started doing dracula films at the rate of one a year , after swearing not to repeat the career - numbing role .

warner archive confirmed today that it plans to release on blu - ray a four - film box set of classic hammer films later this year . the titles in the box set are : dracula has risen from the grave ( 1968 ) , frankenstein must be destroyed ( 1969 ) , the mummy ( 1959 ) , and . . .

dracula has risen from the grave is the fourth movie in hammer horror ' s dracula series , preceded by ( 1958 ) , the brides of dracula ( 1960 ) ( 1960 ) , and dracula : prince of darkness ( 1966 ) ( 1966 ) and followed by taste the blood of dracula ( 1970 ) ( 1970 ) , scars of dracula ( 1970 ) ( 1970 ) , dracula a . d . 1972 ( 1972 ) ( 1972 ) , and the satanic rites of dracula ( 1973 ) ( 1973 ) . all of hammer ' s dracula movies are based on the character created by irish novelist bram stoker in his 1897 novel dracula . the screenplay for dracula : prince of darkness was written by british screenwriter anthony hinds .

the title risen is derived from the rising souls in golem ' s quests or the rising of evil , such as zombies or spells , in voodoo .

warners ' dvd of dracula has risen from the grave beautifully reproduces the original theatrical experience . the almost perfect image has deep colors and no damage in sight . it even starts with the original warners - 7 arts logo . technically shot at 1 : 66 , the imagery was all composed to be shown at much wider ratios , and the 1 : 78 16 : 9 ar chosen here frames the titles well and never seems too tight .

i can happily say that this is not as bad as the satanic rites of dracula , but it’s also not a particularly great entry in the hammer dracula series , aside from a few exceptional moments and a certain so - bad - it’s - good flair . lee is on screen for about fifteen minutes , probably less , something that would plague the rest of the series from here on out . attempting to beat themselves at the continuity game yet again , this picks up where dracula has risen from the grave let off . the less said about that , the better .

lee objected to the inventive scene of the unsuccessful staking , but later conceded that “the audience at the time thought it was stunning” . this , along with the fact that no vampires are actively turned to spread the malady , and director francis’ use of amber filters to create an evilly - lit world for dracula to inhabit , all help to set dracula has risen from the grave apart from its stablemates . interestingly too , no action takes place inside the castle walls , as the count is effectively barred from entering by the cross and ceremony performed by muller .

it was that period of study , observation and note - taking that led , in 1980 , to the novel risen from the ground , where the way of narrating which characterises my novels was born .

set in and around the mitteleurope town of keinenburg , dracula has risen from the grave breaks with many of the traditional story elements thanks to john elder’s innovative screenplay . monsignor ernst muller ( rupert davies ) is dismayed to find the local priest ( ewan hooper ) having said mass to an empty church due to the superstitious parishioners refusing to enter the building ; the hapless peasants are still spooked when the shadow of dracula’s ( christopher lee ) castle touches their church of an evening , despite the vampire having been destroyed in the icy waters near his home a year earlier .

such is the indefatigable charm of christopher lee in his most famous role . this charm , however , is often incongruous within the subtext of a particular film . dracula has risen from the grave , in particular , is so abundant with shocks of gooey violence , casual misogyny , and bosomy women that dracula’s presence within this setting imbues it with elegance and sophistication . otherwise it’d be a growling party all the time with no one to temper the flames of lust , which all of the young and beautiful central characters seem unable to tactfully contain .

" christoper lee looked more charming than barry . sark , my husband agrees with you that veronica carlson is a beautiful woman . enjoyed the movie and thanks for the review to remind to watch again , rick .

the conclusion finds lee in his first impalement gag , struggling with the giant crucifix rammed through him like francis lederer in the return of dracula . for the first time , he actually looks silly , squirming and gesticulating wildly . i saw dracula has risen from the grave at least twice in 1969 with audiences that really wanted to like it - they cheered at every lee appearance , especially when his stunt double does that nice leap off a balcony . but they sat in a stupor through most of the picture waiting for interesting things to happen , and by the finale had no patience left .

now that his revenge is " complete " , dracula abducts maria and takes her to his castle . he forces her to remove the cross from the door . meanwhile , paul follows on horseback , arriving just as maria tosses the cross over the cliff . dracula tries to toss paul over the cliff , too , but dracula himself falls , impaling himself on the cross . paul and maria embrace . the priest , apparently released from his tie to dracula , recites the pater noster . in the final scene , paul looks down to see that the dracula ' body has all but disappeared , and he makes the sign of the cross .

if you dig hammer movies , then " dracula has risen from the grave " is one you will relish ! it ' s got all the things that make hammer films so wonderful - the sets , the music , a pretty nasty and misogynistic dracula , a love story , and two beautiful lead ladies . and of course , it plays out much more like a scary fairy tale than a straight - out horror film . stylish shots and classy photography coupled with hammer ' s just - this - side - of - storybook red blood makes for a very creepy and at the same time beautiful viewing experience . i think each of hammers ' dracula films are great ( minus the abysmal but nicely titled " satanic rites of dracula " ) but this one sits rightfully at the top of them all .

one year has passed since dracula was defeated in dracula : prince of darkness . a monsignor visits the village that was once terrorized by dracula , only to discover that the villagers still live in fear of the vampire . the local priest has lost his faith and the villagers don ' t attend the church for mass because “the shadow of his castle touches it” . in order to end their fear of the long since gone vampire , the monsignor climbs to castle dracula to perform an exorcism . in the process of the exorcism the priest , who climbed part of the way with the monsignor , falls and hits his head and at the same time cracks the ice which dracula lays frozen in . unbeknown to the monsignor , who is still conducting the exorcism , blood from the priest ' s head spills into dracula ' s lips and re - awakens him . dracula wastes no time in hypnotizing the priest into being his servant , and begins his reign of terror once again ( obviously ) .

dracula orders the maid zena to bring him maria . she reacts with jealousy that the count might desire someone else and completely misses the point of his revenge . maria is coerced down to the hidden alcove but dracula’s feeding is interrupted by the boyfriend paul . zena loses much favor with the count and has to beg for more “attention” from his excellence . dracula simply makes her a vampire and orders her body thrown into a fire by the priest . the fires of eternal damnation ?

this was the fourth of the hammer dracula films , and it ' s a bore .

the advertising campaign in america was decidedly tongue - in - cheek ; the main poster image did not depict the vampire , but rather one of his busty victims , with two pink ( and anachronistic ) band - aids on her neck , followed by the tagline , " dracula has risen from the grave ( obviously ) . " warner bros . - seven arts also played up the humorous and somewhat campy ad campaign for their television ads ( " when we last saw him . . . dracula was dead with a stake driven through his heart . . . . but you just can ' t keep a good man down " ) , and made sure to mention the " g " rating . as a result

what does dracula have to do with brides of dracula ? absolutely nothing . aside from a few references to the old boy ( in the narrated opening it is made clear that dracula is dead , but his disciples remain ) , he , and his brides , are absent from this film . i have no idea why hammer chose this title , other than an attempt to connect it to the first dracula film . despite that , this is one of the greatest in the hammer canon . the scenery is beautiful , the well - constructed plot has globs of gothic perversity , the ladies are as lovely as ever and peter cushing is at the top of his game .

it’s funny . the dracula franchise is probably what hammer film productions is best remembered for today , but those movies are consistently among the studio’s weakest products . the worst of the bunch are among the few truly terrible hammer films i’ve seen , and even the best of them wouldn’t make it into my personal top ten . for the most part , they’re just sort of okay , competent in an undistinguished manner , but representing ever more plainly as the years wore on all the ways that hammer wasn’t adapting to changing times . dracula has risen from the grave may be the okayest of them all . in what would turn out to be the most transformative year in horror movie history since probably 1931 , it stands fast in the center of the genre’s comfort zone , offering a perfectly acceptable rendition of little you haven’t seen before .

the best thing about dracula has risen from the grave is the introduction of the absolutely gorgeous veronica carlson . she went on to star in a couple of hammer frankenstein films after this , but i don’t know why they didn’t use her more . other than that , it’s business as usual . thankfully , lee is around more in this film and actually has dialogue . nothing can make up for the absence of cushing , though davies replaces him as best he is able as a holy man , rather than a scientist . this film somehow seems brighter and more visually stunning than earlier efforts in the series , though that could be because of the lovely rooftop set with veronica carlson prancing around on it . there is also more sexual innuendo and dangerously plunging cleavage lines .

notice any issues ? such as the reflection ? oh well , just another bit of lore previously followed thrown out the window . the monsignor leaves the town , his job finished , or so he thinks . dracula has indeed risen from the grave , and now his mortal assistant is one of the cloth . now what could that be implying ? here we have yet another interesting thematic concept in a hammer sequel that then is completely disregarded . the priest simply does what every other dracula servant does : the master’s bidding like a walking robot . doesn’t anybody find these people a bit strange ? if you were to stagger around mumbling only monosyllables people would think you’re crazy . any notion of this subplot being some kind of metaphor of the church acting as a false prophet is completely ignored .

the theme of religion com - bating the evil of vampirism is not an uncommon one , but rarely has it received such a full treatment . the three men who combine to destroy dracula run the gamut from believer to atheist . the monsignor is a man with great faith in god . the priest is a believer who has lost his way . paul , the young man engaged to the monsignor’s niece , fancies himself an intellectual who questions the existence of god . his rejection of religion plays a pivotal role in a scene where he faces dracula , but is unable to destroy him .

you have failed me : zena is turned into one of dracula ' s mooks after he bites her . she ' s given orders to kidnap maria , but fails to do so . dracula promptly slays her for her failure and has the priest burn her body .

clap your hands if you believe : why the first attempt to stake dracula fails .

fortunately better than i remember it being , the satanic rites of dracula is the eighth film in the series and the last to star lee as dracula . the wonderful cushing also returns , along with much of the cast of dracula a . d . 1972 , to which this is a loose sequel .

when dracula " seduces " zena , he pulls at the ribbon fastening her cloak . this causes her to turn to face him , but does not conspicuously loosen her cloak . however , the camera then jumps to another angle ( roughly , dracula ' s pov ) . the editing suggests direct continuity , but zena ' s cloak has , seemingly instantaneously , slipped off from her left shoulder .

check out the warner dvd . this deserves something a lot fancier , which we’ll never get on region one as long as warner has the rights .

this is my favorite dracula film , hammer or non - hammer - i really love the cast and i think dracula is especially mean and misogynistic in this one .

holy burns evil : crosses figure in heavily in dracula ' s defeat in the climax .

after an arduous trek through the mountains , the monsignor completes his mission . unfortunately , the priest , who has lagged behind his elder , inadvertently revives dracula . unable to resist the powerful vampire , the priest becomes dracula’s disciple . needless to say , dracula is not pleased to find a huge cross barring the door to his estate ( “who’s done this thing ? ” he demands ) . forcing the priest to assist him , the vampire count plots his bloody revenge against the monsignor .

this mix of sci - fi , horror and espionage penned by doctor who scribe don houghton would probably have been successful if dracula and van helsing hadn’t been included , seemingly as an afterthought . this is not helped by the fact that dracula has minimal screen time , probably less than 15 minutes . at least he has dialogue in this one . though it is great to see lee and cushing together again , they feel out of place in an a plot that belongs to either the avengers , james bond or fu manchu . the bleak apocalyptic theme moves away from the gothic elements of most of the series and far , far away from the fun , campy romp of dracula a . d . , which will likely please the many viewers that hated that film .

the extreme improbability of the count’s resurrection cannot be put into words . this is our first glimpse of dracula :

though there are several cheap versions of satanic rites that should be avoided , anchor bay presents a nice region 1 disc as part of their hammer horror series . this includes trailers and a documentary , dracula and the undead , narrated by hammer - regular oliver reed . avoid any prints under the stupid u . s . title , count dracula and his vampire brides , which has several minutes shaved from its running time .

rick , this is one of my favorite vampire movies . i love the hammer movies with christopher lee playing the dracula . i think he plays a chillingly sexy dracula . i love the beginning of this movie when the priest cuts his head and cracks the ice allowing his blood to seep through the crack to resurect the evil vampire . i bet that pleased dracula to have blood from a priest . i also like the ending of this movie , but don ' t want to give it away . i agree it is not quite as good as horrow of dracula nor brides of dracula , but it is my third favorite in the hammer vampire films .

the ending is relatively well constructed . paul has already had to assume the duties of the lover attempting to kill a vampire who has taken his woman . in one controversial but memorable scene ( the one scene that makes this movie really worth anything ) he actually stakes dracula , but being an atheist is unable to perform the prayer that would complete the ritual . so dracula is then able to rip out the stake in his heart . so then what does one do ? trail the girl and vampire back to the castle and fight again ! dracula is improbably staked by falling on the monsignor’s cross and the priest is then miraculously able to say the prayer to end the count’s evil . the end credits follow about a minute later .

determined to set matters straight , muller ascends the mountain pathways to the castle , priest in tow , and performs an exorcism , sealing the door with a huge ornate gold cross . the terrified priest has not accompanied him all the way to the top , however , and stumbles during a violent storm , cutting his head . he lands on a frozen river , cracking the ice and allowing the blood from his wound to drip onto dracula’s lips below , thus reviving the vampire .

my second time around with has risen was more enjoyable than the first many years ago . this is only because the story didn’t seem so tedious as before . the characters are better written than the previous film and seem more like fleshed out versions of real people instead of caricatures . but they so tediously follow a story formula that all of that development is useless . you more and more frequently spend most of your viewing with these hammer sequels having to restrain yourself from shouting “get a bloomin’ move on ! ”

dracula then enters maria’s bedroom where we are treated to the most explicit scene thus far in the hammer series . dracula approaches maria and we then see her neck approaching in close up from his point of view . he almost lovingly prepares the area of the skin for his bite and we cut away to maria’s hand clutching a china doll only to let go in satisfaction .

a year has passed since the freezing of dracula ( christopher lee ) under the ice in the river that flows past his castle . because the villagers still fear even the shadow of the castle , monsignor ernst mueller ( rupert davies ) and the village priest ( ewan hooper ) decide to exorcise the castle and prove to the villagers that the evil is gone . while the monsignor seals the castle door with a large cross , the priest accidentally falls on a rock and hits his head , his blood flowing onto the ice under which dracula is encased , resurrecting him . angered by mueller ' s desecration of his castle , dracula vows revenge on both mueller and his niece maria ( veronica carlson ) .

dracula . that scene is a prologue , taking place a year before the rest of the movie , during the time that dracula was active during dracula : prince of darkness . the monsignor says as much himself as he ' s driving his cart toward carlsbad . " a year has passed since dracula , perpetrator of these obscene evils , was destroyed . " and then again at the inn , he says to the village priest , " i know that your church was once vilely desecrated , but the perpetrator of that ghastly deed was destroyed some 12 months ago . was he not sent to his doom in the waters of your mountain and was he not , therefore , destroyed forever ?

the fourth entry in hammer’s dracula series is one of the studio’s best films , even without the presence of peter cushing’s dynamic van helsing . it opens with a terrific prologue featuring a church bell that doesn’t ring and a dead girl with two puncture marks on her neck . to say more would spoil the effect . however , the story proper begins when a visiting monsignor discovers that a village in his district remains in the “shadow of evil”—even though count dracula has been destroyed . determined to set things right again , the monsignor convinces the frightened village priest to accompany him to dracula’s castle to perform an exorcism .

a year passes and we now follow a monsignor who happens to stop in the town to check up on its local church . he finds the church empty on a sunday and the priest in the local bar . the entire town has become disillusioned with the church after their dealings with count dracula . this puts the monsignor into a rage and so he takes the priest to go and rid the old castle of evil spirits once and for all .

when his castle is exorcised , dracula plots his revenge against the monsignor who performed the rites by attempting to make the holy man ' s young niece his bride .

other than a trailer ( 480i ; 1 . 78 : 1 , enhanced ; 2 : 29 ) , the disc has no extras . warner ' s 2004 dvd was similarly featureless .

shovel strike : alice , under dracula ' s control , kills her father by whacking him in the head with a shovel .

. francis ' eye provided flair to an uninspired script by anthony hinds ( writing under the name john elder ) that underutilizes both the character of dracula and the gifts of the actor playing him .

roof hopping : maria does this routinely when coming to see paul , because her uncle the monsignor disapproves . later the monsignor does this to pursue dracula .

the terrified priest follows only partway up the mountain and the monsignor continues alone . as the monsignor exorcises the castle , attaching a large metal cross to its gate , a thunderstorm occurs . the priest flees , stumbles , and is knocked unconscious when his head strikes a rock . the blood from the wound on his head trickles into a frozen stream , then through a crack in the ice onto the lips of the body of count dracula  bringing him to life . the monsignor returns to the village , reassures the villagers , and returns to his home city of kleinenberg .

a " wild end " to the most horrific dracula of them all . christopher lee . and one of his best : - )

prof . sut jhally received an honorary doctor of fine arts degree from simon fraser university in burnaby , british columbia , on oct . 8 .

the only extra is a trailer that isn ' t as campy as the original american ad campaigns that made dracula seem a little bit like batman . the unusual cover art is from english originals - our domestic release ( held up a few months to go out with frankenstein must be destroyed ) used a simplified graphic approach .

woman scorned : alice immediately turns on dracula when he tells her she is of no more use to him .

baron frankenstein escapes from the guillotine and goes to germany . there , he names himself dr . stein and plans to restart his experiments by using parts of dead bodies .

when the village priest runs away from the castle , he falls over and down a slope . when he hits the ground , you see blood on his forehead which subsequently disappears and reappears between shots . see more »

unfortunately , this isn ' t the end . the newly - revived dracula is angered at the cross barring entry into his castle and vows revenge . putting the priest under his control , dracula embarks to kleinenberg for revenge , choosing to target the monsignor ' s niece , maria ( veronica carlson ) . it ultimately falls to maria ' s love interest , a studious young man and atheist named paul ( barry andrews ) to save maria and stop dracula .

great gothic hammer horror . one of the better dracula sequels and one of director freddie francis ' best . it has a lot of the elements you expect and appreciate from hammer : solid actors , great sets , quality direction , beautiful and vivacious young women . the plot is relatively simple : dracula wants revenge and pretty blonde veronica carlson but her monsignor uncle and loser boyfriend have a thing or two to say about that . there ' s also some interesting additions to the mythology where belief vs atheism is concerned . it all makes for a very entertaining sequel full of many familiar and proved effective hammer staples , with several new ones as well .

as well as zena when the priest goes to put the lid on dracula ' s coffin and find her body ( oddly vamped but dead ) laying under it .

christopher lee is featured in the first of his “stand in a dark corner and occasionally bite someone” performances . you trudge along watching this film merely to pass the time until he appears . then you go and get all excited to watch the count in action…which doesn’t happen because he goes away - again . why can’t these films actually be about dracula ? it’s not as if they aren’t named after him . lee has pointed out over the years that the scripts were increasingly written without dracula actually in them . it was only at the last minute before shooting that they would actually write in the

not rating the film , but amazons video service is really poor . rented this from amazon video . firstly the soundtrack and film were out of synch so that spoiled it completely , like . . .

not my favorite of the hammer dracula series , but not anywhere near unworthy . i love how they play with the landscape , the colors and the matte paintings as well as the other opticals . storywise , it ' s pretty boring most of the way through .

hammer had originally intended for terence fisher to continue his directing duties on the new film , but he was recovering from a broken leg caused when a motorbike struck him as he was crossing the street . his replacement was freddie francis , a multiple oscar - winning cinematographer , who had earlier helmed another hammer horror film from a different fisher - dominated series ,

one of the reasons for the continued popularity of the figures of dr . jekyll and his sinister companion is their status as what joyce carol oates has called “mythopoetic figures [ of ] autonomous creation , ” which is a lovely way of saying that those who have never read stevenson’s novella , who have never seen a stage play of the tale , who have never seen a film adaptation of the story still know the names jekyll and hyde and what they signify . the mythical allegory of a good man and his evil alter - ego have , over the course of a long century , entered the public consciousness and the public discourse and have thus become divorced , like frankenstein’s monster and count dracula , from their original narrative context . from the selig polyscope company’s first film adaptation in 1908 to jerry lewis’ 1963 the nutty professor and beyond , the figures of jekyll and hyde have become emblems of the perceived dual nature of humanity and the constant internal and psychological struggle between good and evil .

probably one of the most underrated in the hammer dracula saga . it has many of the usual tropes , of course , but i found myself caring for the characters . interesting studies of the cowardly priest and the way he and the bar lady functioned as servants of the count . it builds to an exciting climax . it is one that i never ever saw as a child , only heard mentioned on those cards you could collect . glad i finally saw it today . i wasn ' t disappointed .

evil old folks : the three pompous , hypocritical ( and in harwood ' s case abusive ) fathers . dracula seems almost gallant in comparison .

seeking to exorcise dracula ' s castle , msgr . muller ( rupert davies ) bars the door with a cross but the local priest ( ewan hooper ) inadvertently revives the frozen count ( christopher lee ) from his interment in a frozen creek . with the priest now his lackey , dracula comes to muller ' s town and preys first upon barmaid zena ( barbara ewing ) before setting his sights on his real prize , muller ' s niece maria ( veronica carlson ) . muller might have an aide in maria ' s boyfriend paul ( barry andrews ) , but dracula acts too quickly for either of them .

prof . erica scharrer traveled to washington , dc to participate in the annual board meeting of the international communication association from january 16 - 18 and returned to the dc area to engage as a panel reviewer at the national science foundation february 4 - 6 .

it boggles the mind that dracula scriptwriters continued to throw in loyal servants that appear out of nowhere in each new film later in the series . it’s also particularly amusing that hammer made this script once in stuffy , victorian england with a bunch of boring male protagonists , failed , changed a few elements and tried again with dracula a . d . 1972 . surprisingly , it works a lot better in the swingin’ seventies and has a major element that this film lacks : the wondrous , long overdue return of cushing as van helsing .

i think like james hadley chase , the books of harold robbins can be divided into two piles - the super - trashy and the ones not quite so . titles like the betsy , the storyteller and the pirate will clearly get to the first section ! incidentally , the pirate doesn ' t even have a semblance of a story - the betsy at least does . the second pile would consist of his never love a stranger , where love has gone and a stone for danny fisher - which are actually pretty good reads . i guess the dream merchants and the carpetbaggers would also come into this category . you said it joe when you commented that robbins can write when he wants to . pity he didn ' t do more in the second category but i guess he saw what sold and consequently revelled in producing the novels in the first pile !

but it’s impossible to imagine such improvement will be aided by an education secretary who is so willfully impervious to the relevant data . instead , betsy devos’ lodestar has been her conviction that any nontraditional public school is better than a traditional one , simply because it’s not operated by government .

the troubles of the trump administration will shape the conference , too , as activists discuss how to make republicans ' work even harder . the american federation of teachers will explain how a " dedicated effort from educators , parents and the community " made education secretary betsy devos infamous , imperiling her nomination . groups like bend the arc and muslim advocates will share how they actually defeated trump nominees for other jobs , like labor secretary nominee andrew puzder .

an article on wednesday about the senate confirmation of betsy devos as secretary of education described incorrectly the role of public pressure in the “no” votes cast by two republicans . while senator lisa murkowski of alaska said she had been influenced by thousands of messages she received urging her to reject the nomination , senator susan collins of maine did not in fact refer to such public comments as influencing her decision to oppose the nomination .

the cfpb , of course , is the brainchild of senator professor warren and it has become quite the nuisance to the country’s real owners and their ongoing project to steal the country from the rest of us . this latter group certainly includes the devos family , who made its pile from amway , and who appear to believe that control of the political commons is another something you can buy wholesale . naturally , the cfpb swung back . what we do know is that , as is typical of many of the cabinet officials down there at camp runamuck , betsy devos knows nothing about the subject of the portfolio she’s been handed . that boat sailed years ago .

this was the worst betsy book ever . i have to sit back and wonder if the author even has a clue as to where she is going with this series . perhaps , she should stake betsy and sinclair and put them out of their misery . ugh ! this has happened so many times in series books . the reader gets into them loves the characters and then bam ! the series goes to hell in a hand basket . case in point l . k . hamilton anita blake series . i didn ' t even bother to buy the last book . authors actually need to do some work and not let the popularity of a series carry them . i skimmed through most of undead and unsure and can ' t even really tell you what a majority of the book was about . i wouldn ' t have bothered to skim past the first paragraph if i hadn ' t spent hard earned money on the book and felt i should get something for it . i gave betsy 2 stars . one for actually having the guts to call this crap a book and pulling off getting it published . and another star for the last paragraph , which was the only thing of merit in the entire book . i honestly don ' t think i ' ll buy the next installment in the series when it hits the shelves . i can do better with my money and time .

i wasn’t sure whether or not i was going to read this book because this series has been not - so - gradually spiraling into a big hot mess . upon starting this one , i felt that it wasn’t quite as bad as the last few have been and find myself hoping that davidson may have pulled her head out of her behind . alas , by the end of the book , i felt it still left me unsatisfied and kindof guilty for having wasted my precious time on this series . we pick up where we left off at the beginning of this book , with betsy dealing with the aftermath of killing the devil . laura , her sister , who also happens to be the anti - christ is super angry at her for killing her mom and so there is lots of drama there . laura is angry and scared that in the absence of her mother , she will have to assume the role of satan and she resents betsy for putting her in that situation . meanwhile , sinclair is being reckless with his newfound ability to tolerate sunlight and nobody seems to know how far along jessica is in her pregnancy and when she is due . it seems she has been pregnant forever and no one really seems to think anything of it . the parts of the book i still dislike are that the plot always seems silly and pointless and just rambles on and the fact that sinclair is much less the powerful vampire he once was , but is now an emasculated version of himself next to betsy’s ditsy - genius act . i can’t quite get past the thisissostupid thing and even though this book is better than the past few have been , i feel like i’m coming to the end of my queen betsy fandom . i think i’m going to give up on the series from here on out .

the flashbacks to 1930s detroit and the auto baron ' s grand lifestyle stood out in the film .

number one has been inspired to release a brand new car , and further he wants to name it “the betsy , ” after his nubile 18 year - old great granddaughter . sounds simple , but in reality this is just the setup for endless , endless scenes where board members at bethlehem motors will get together and talk about the impracticalities of this initiative , given the incipient energy crisis . and besides , loren iii wants to get out of the car business and focus on the company’s more - profitable ventures in appliances and whatnot .

this book was horrendous in every way . i won ' t repeat what others have said about a lack of plot , but it is true . all of the characters now could be betsy . there is hardly any distinction between them . they all are juvenile , self absorbed , and lacking in intelligence . the biggest tragedy is the loss of sinclair . in the beginning , he was rough , manly , and sexy . throughout this addition , i kept thinking that sinclair must be possessed or under a spell because there was no way his character would be so wussy and whiny . nope . . . that ' s just what mjd has done to him . and betsy ! ugh . she is now just a terrible person . there is nothing redeeming about her . i don ' t care any more whether they live happily ever after because they both are obnoxious . then you have the plot line about jessica and the later explanation . it made no sense . i can suspend my disbelief quite a bit ( hence me reading vampire books ) , but this book jumped the shark about 10 times over . save your money , and more importantly end the series still liking sinclair and betsy . if you read this , you definitely won ' t .

this is one of the funniest books i have ever read in my life . unintended by the writer . the story is of the rise to power of an auto company and the family of the founder . the real humor begins in the " modern era " sections of the tale . 1971 , when this was written . . . the mighty american car companies are dying at the hands of small japanese imports , the vw bug , and etc . the high stakes race to build an american sub - compact is on . ford has the pinto , there ' s the gremlin , and the chevy vega . this

literature indeed proved a happy calling . harold collected a home in the south of france , a custom made rolls - royce , and an 85 foot yacht on which he cruised the mediterranean . until his death in 1997 , however , there were persistent rumors that cocaine and ghostwriters helped assist robbins ' s overworked muse . in 1971 robbins published the betsy , a saga about the detroit auto industry . the novel spanned several generations of an auto manufacturing dynasty and contained robbins ' s standard formula of glamour , sex , wealth , and murder .

. but then , it seems to me that robbins got more extreme as he got older , which i guess is one thing you could at least respect him for . ( he does slack off on the drugs here , though ; while everyone smokes and drinks , only one character indulges in anything illegal – betsy herself , who in true hippie - girl fashion enjoys smoking dope . )

olivier relished the idea of the robbins sex scenes . however , he felt that one scene that required him to have sex in a clothes closet with his wife ' s french maid might prove too arduous for him . he believed it would require " a light cordelia " ( as john gielgud said of king lear ' s youngest daughter ) , or at least a harness in which to suspend the maid . as the scene was shot , the culminating act was left to the audience ' s imagination . on the other hand , larry ' s ogling katharine ross breast feeding the baby and his subsequent tryst with katharine in bed , were not cut . later , harold robbins told me that he considered the betsy the " best movie adaptation of any of his works .

to be fair , this series was always weak on plot . the last handful of books , though , seem to be 90 percent immature dialogue and 10 percent plot . in the early books , betsy was sarcastic and immature - but still tolerable . with each subsequent book she gets more and more immature . it ' s no longer endearing . what passes for plot in this book doesn ' t even get hinted at until 30 percent of the book is gone . think about that . the first 30 percent of the book revolves around absolutely nothing - and can be tossed out and not change the story in the slightest . besides betsy actually getting dumber ( and less charming ) with each subsequent book , sinclair completely loses his cool factor this go - around . he used to be cool and now he is a flaming idiot with no sex appeal . zombie marc is a hassle , jessica ' s pregnancy is a bore and baby jon is an afterthought . in essence , this series has lost it ' s creativity and lovability and is complete drivel now . it should have ended six or seven books ago - and yet i ' m the idiot that keeps buying them . i ' m mostly mad at myself , really . davidson wouldn ' t keep fleecing readers if we didn ' t let her . the truth is , i don ' t want to let a series go before it is finished - but i have got to learn to let a series go that should be finished ( even though it drags on and on and on and on and on ) . this series needs to be put out of its misery .

of federal student loans , ending a partnership that has let the cfpb sue loan companies and force others to change their practices in the nation’s second - largest household debt market . several former high - ranking federal officials fear the directive signals a greater leniency toward loan companies trying to collect on debts , and perhaps a new effort by the trump administration to undermine the bureau’s enforcement authority . “the system is always going to work against the interest of borrowers and toward the interest of the government , ” said bergeron , who retired as the education department’s head of postsecondary education in 2013 after more than 30 years there . “the cfpb is a check on that , and a necessary one . ”

going through some harold robbins books i got from a library sale . this one was written when robbins still seemed to give a damn about writing novels , but you can tell he got tired of it before finishing it . the sexy stuff was pretty graphic for its time and its popularity . think of teenagers with a ton of money and no repercussions ( didn ' t someone once say hollywood is like that ? ) and you got an idea what motivates many of the characters . the main plot is about a family that makes cars , and how the patriarch , now in his 90 ' s , is driven to make one last splash in the world of cars with the betsy , named after his granddaughter . i liked it fine while reading it . it ' s not going to tax the brain and it ' s got about as much weight as a show like revenge . that ' s not a slam - there is room in the world for commercial entertainment , and if you go into it with any deeper expectations than that you ' ll be disappointed . i ' ve got two more robbins novels in the stack to go . also , i highly recommend if you have any interest at all in the world of bestselling writers , publishing in the 60s and 70s , and the perils of celebrity .
