The Wolf Man is a compactly-knit tale of its kind, with good direction and performances by an above par assemblage of players, but dubious entertainment.
Dave Kehr
A stodgy Universal thriller from 1941, redeemed by a name-heavy cast and by Lon Chaney Jr.'s lumbering, affable performance in the title role.
Theodore Strauss
Without any build-up either by the scriptwriter or director, he is sent onstage, where he, looks a lot less terrifying and not nearly as funny as Mr. Disney's big, bad wolf.
There's undeniable magic within the staid format.

A CLASSIC Great cast. Doesn't have as much war propaganda as I expected for that decade. Just watch for fun. I am planning on buying the DVD, if it's available.
Shawn Turgeon
A classic I really enjoyed it for its simplicity and production values. It reminded me of days gone by when life was simpler

Wolf man Very good story. I thought it was kind if spooky even for an older film
The Wolfman I can't express how much I love these old classics! The Wolfman, the Invisible Man 1933, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein. All awesome movies for their time.
