I would have preferred they show him bite Nathan and drain his blood leaving him lifeless on the floor.
Well, in DC's mind it was still far too provocative to actually show a male vampire attack a male victim. Ridiculous by today's thinking (and even the thinking later in the show), but what can we say - the mid-'60s were a different time.
Didn't I hear that A Moltke was giggling uncontrollably, during multiple blown takes of her hanging scene?
Possible. Though I don't honestly remember hearing that story. But maybe I've just forgotten it. We hear so many stories that one can only remember so many of them - usually only the ones that make an impression for one reason or another.
One thing we can be on the lookout for is AM doing her damnedest not to crack on camera during her 1968 scenes with RD because apparently he was terrible about trying to make her do so - and a few times he came close to succeeding.
