The Wolf Man (1941)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 70m
Director: George Waggner
Cast: Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains, Warren William, Ralph Bellamy, Bela Lugosi, Maria Ouspenskaya

Synopsis:

When his brother dies, a man returns to his family's home in Wales, where he is bitten by a gypsy's son in an attack on his girlfriend. The wolf is killed, but the mother informs him that the werewolf's curse has now passed to him.

Review:

Halfway decent first werewolf film from Universal, to join its gallery of other monsters. It received a splendid cast and a hirsute makeup that would become standard until the next time an American traveller got caught on the heath at night, forty years later (in An American Werewolf in London).
