Wiki.
Count Dracula's Great Love (Spanish: El gran amor del conde Drácula) is a 1973 Spanish film directed by Javier Aguirre, and starring Paul Naschy as Count Dracula. The film also features Rosanna Yanni, Haydee Politoff (whom Naschy did not like working with), Mirta Miller and Ingrid Garbo.
The film was shot in 1972, but took about a year to be released anywhere. It first premiered in April 1973 at the Paris Festival of Fantastic Films, along with Naschy's Hunchback of the Morgue, and then was released in Spain on May 12, 1973. It was released to U.S. theaters in March 1974 as Dracula's Great Love (on a double bill with The Vampires' Night Orgy), then re-released later in 1979 by Motion Picture Marketing under the title Cemetery Girls (the poster emphasizing the film's adult content and indicating nothing of its star Paul Naschy or Spanish origin). Contrary to some sources, this film was never released under the titles Vampire Playgirls or Graveyard Tramps; these were other films retitled by MPM which were often paired with Cemetery Girls in drive-ins.
The film was released (heavily edited) in the U.K. on August 8, 1974 as Dracula's Virgin Lovers, double-billed with Venom (aka The Legend of Spider Forest). The running time in England was cut from 83 minutes to only 66 minutes. The film was released in Italy as The Diabolical Loves of Nosferatu, in Thailand as Virgin Lovers, and in Mexico as The Orgy of Dracula.
The film has been released uncut on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome, and can finally be seen in its original, uncensored form after all these years.
