John Van Eyssen

John Van Eyssen (born Matthew John Du Toit Van Eyssen, 1922-1995) was a South African born actor, agent and film production executive. He moved to Britain following the Second World War, attending the Central School of Speech and Drama.

Van Eyssen appeared in films from 1950 as well as on stage (playing Cassio in Orson Welles' 1951 production of Othello, for example) but achieved his greatest fame as an actor when he portrayed Jonathan Harker in the Hammer Film Productions version of Dracula (released as Horror of Dracula in the US) in 1958.

He left acting in 1961 to become head of the Grade Organisation literary agency. His subsequent clients were Franco Zeffirelli, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. He left the business in 1965 to work for the UK division of Columbia Pictures, eventually becoming Managing Director in July 1969. Among the films he oversaw were A Man for All Seasons (1966), Born Free (1966), Georgy Girl (1966), To Sir, with Love (1967), The Taming of The Shrew (1967), and Oliver! (1968). Both Oliver! and A Man for All Seasons won Best Picture Academy Awards. In 1970, he was promoted to Worldwide Head of Production (ex-USA) and moved to New York.

It's time to let the vampires out this Halloween and talk about Dracula in our video essay on Horror of Dracual explaining why it's the best dracula movie of all time! Christopher Lee is Dracula and when he began his reign of terror as the iconic vampire back in 1958's Horror of Dracula, no one expected him to top Bella Lugosi's iconic portrayal and yet, over 60 years later and Dracula (1958) remains the best Dracula movie of all time and Christopher Lee might just be the best dracula of all time. Similar to Lugosi's Dracula,Christopher Lee Dracula kicked off Hammer Horror's stunning revamp of the iconic Universal Monsters spawning a number of sequels including, most notably, Dracula Prince of Darkness and Dracula has Risen from the Grave. However, few can match the power of Horror of Dracula. It also features what I consider to be a definitive portrayal of Doctor Van Helsing in Peter Cushing's bad ass and cunning foil to the count. Most importantly, this Dracula movie has such a grasp on atmosphere, production design, lush and vibrant colors, the BLOOD. Still to this day it all holds up incredibly well. Directed by Terrence Fisher, Dracula (1958) briefly follows Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen) as he is summoned to Castle Dracula only to go missing. In search of his missing friend, vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) is led to Count Dracula's (Christopher Lee) castle. Upon arriving, Van Helsing finds an undead Harker in Dracula's crypt and discovers that the count's next target is Harker's ailing fiancée, Lucy Holmwood (Carol Marsh). With the help of her brother, Arthur (Michael Gough), Van Helsing struggles to protect Lucy and put an end to Count Dracula's parasitic reign of terror. Griffin (@griffschiller) makes a case for why Horror of Dracula is the best Dracula movie or why it's the best dracula movie of all time in this Halloween video essay! #Dracula #Halloween #VideoEssay #HorrorOfDracula #ChristopherLee #Horror #HorrorVideoEssay ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ❗️ My YouTube Gear 📺 ❗️ Camera 🎥: Sony a7iii ➡️ https://amzn.to/3poCJaz Microphone 🎙: Shure SM7B ➡️ https://amzn.to/3jVWYeO Lights 💡: Elgato Key Light Air ➡️ https://amzn.to/3prCFXy Tripod: Joby Gorillapod ➡️ https://amzn.to/2NbC5QQ Live Stream Capture Card: Elgato Cam Link 4K ➡️ https://amzn.to/3s5TwRP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to The Fourth Wall - an interview podcast that is part of The Playlist Podcast Network ➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Charlie Chan is back…episode #20 features Mary Kerridge, Ferdy Mayne, John Van Eyssen, Andre Maranne, Teresa Thorne and Malou Pantera. James Hong as Charlie’s son. This is a non-profit no-donation channel. YouTube policy is to pay for idiots to “react” to songs, to open up packages, to provide tedious and wrong repair information, or to give mindless opinions on current events and sports. Jackass stunts and even modeling underwear is also fine with YouTube. THAT is their idea of worthy programming, they don’t care about preserving TV history or letting channels like mine have a percentage of the take. The money went to acquiring and digitizing rarities in 16mm and VHS. These days, with no money for it and time short, I post items not quite as clear or sharp as I’d like, and can’t take the time to provide every idle factual detail a fan might want. Sorry 'about that. YouTube could give a percentage back on the ad money they get on this channel but they won't.

John Van Eyssen

John Van Eyssen (born Matthew John Du Toit Van Eyssen, 1922-1995) was a South African born actor, agent and film production executive. He moved to Britain following the Second World War, attending the Central School of Speech and Drama.

Van Eyssen appeared in films from 1950 as well as on stage (playing Cassio in Orson Welles' 1951 production of Othello, for example) but achieved his greatest fame as an actor when he portrayed Jonathan Harker in the Hammer Film Productions version of Dracula (released as Horror of Dracula in the US) in 1958.

He left acting in 1961 to become head of the Grade Organisation literary agency. His subsequent clients were Franco Zeffirelli, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. He left the business in 1965 to work for the UK division of Columbia Pictures, eventually becoming Managing Director in July 1969. Among the films he oversaw were A Man for All Seasons (1966), Born Free (1966), Georgy Girl (1966), To Sir, with Love (1967), The Taming of The Shrew (1967), and Oliver! (1968). Both Oliver! and A Man for All Seasons won Best Picture Academy Awards. In 1970, he was promoted to Worldwide Head of Production (ex-USA) and moved to New York.
