Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the first solo directorial assigment for Henry Levin, who went on to enjoy a long and surprisingly varied career as a director, encompassing such diverse titles as Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) the original 1960 version of Where the Boys Are, two Pat Boone musicals (Bernadette and April Love) and two of Dean Martin's 1960s Matt Helm spy spoofs (Murderer's Row and The Ambushers).
- GoofsIn order to get the wolf to snarl and gnash it's teeth for the camera, a clearly visible rubber band was placed around it's upper jaw and snout. It is most easily seen in the footage running behind the opening credits.
- Quotes
Opening Titles: The ancient belief is still held by many that anything that happens in the world is never lost. No sparrow falls unnoted ~~ no tree crashes in the forest unheard. The sorrows, the joys, the loves and the hates of past generations live on in people's memories, in their legends and their stories. Perhaps our story is something that has lived on in a person's memory or perhaps it is just a legend ~~

Bad Doggie!
Apparently werewolf genes are inheritable as a young woman becomes one because of her mom; then, in a hairy mood, she goes after nice young couple who know about her problem.
This Columbia studio production shows why Universal had the franchise on the half-human half-wolf. Instead of going the Universal route by using big-time make-up and blended dissolves, Columbia employs an actual German Shepherd dog, (not even a real wolf, mind you), as the fanged menace. And the nice doggie all but wags his tail while "menacing" the humans. Needless to say, this turns a potential horror movie into a version of Lassie Goes Bad, despite the best efforts of a strong supporting cast— e.g. Abbott, Leiber, Yurka.
Then too, the war thinned out the ranks of Hollywood leading men, leaving lightweights such as Stephen Crane to haul the goods. Good thing he went into the restaurant business instead of staying on the stage. And what a waste of the talented Nina Foch who doesn't get nearly the screen time her character deserves. Instead, that goes to Osa Massen, a decent enough actress, but without Foch's special brand of haughty disdain.
No need to waste time on this B-movie disappointment. Columbia simply cut too many budgetary corners with not enough imagination to produce anything more than a sometimes amusing misfire and a general waste of acting talent.
