PETER CUSHING AND CHRISTOPHER LEE: NEW YORK HAMMER FILMS DRACULA. PREMIER OR WAS IT?

Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee signing autographs at the premier of Hammer Films DRACULA /HORROR OF DRACULA in New York on 25th May, 1958, the day before Peter's birthday on the 26th. Hammer CEO James Carreras and producer Tony Hinds, also accompanied them on the visit. Even though this has always been billed as the 'premier' there is evidence that the film had a unofficial 'world premiere' on May 7th 1958 in Milwaukee.
