Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922)
“One of the most foreboding and influential horror films in the history of cinema, F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu” (1922) was almost kept from the screen when the widow of Bram Stoker, Florence, sued the German producers for unauthorized use of her husband’s novel, Dracula. The lawsuit over “Nosferatu: has haunted the film’s history. Wanting to distance themselves from the film, the producers of “Nosferatu” sold it to Deutsche Film Produktion who edited the film without Murnau’s consent. The film was then altered further for its 1929 American release, making the search for the “original,” “uncut” “Nosferatu” a film historian’s obsession.” (http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/5893/Nosferatu/articles.html)
