Christopher Lee at his comedic best.

9/10

"The English title is "Uncle was a Vampire" and it stars Christopher Lee. I know this from watching it on TV sometime in the in the 60's. Trivia note: IMDb doesn't know this.

Christopher Lee had made such an impression in the British production that they went to the additional expense of hiring him to come to Italy to essentially recreate his Dracula character.
