A Crown Jewel of Universal Horror
"The Wolf Man: Special Edition"  contains the original 1941 movie that added a fourth monster to Universal's star horror trio of Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, and the Mummy.  This movie is the source of much of the "legendary" information about the werewolf, especially that a werewolf can be killed only by a silver bullet or a silver club.  That mythic idea is the product of imaginative screenwriter Curt Siodmak, not ancient lore.<br /><br />The story, a variation of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," is simple and works because it assumes the existence of werewolves without unnecessary explanations.  There is a scene in which Claude Rains, playing Larry Talbot's (Lon Chaney, Jr.) father, recites some mumbo jumbo about lycanthropy, the technical term for people who believe they can turn into wolves.  But the film takes off almost at once as Larry, trying to defend a woman being attacked by a wolf, is bitten.  Turns out the werewolf is none other than Bela Lugosi, trading in his Dracula cape for a gypsy get-up, and his mother -- the old Gypsy woman Maleva -- is played by Maria Ouspenskaya, a small, elderly woman who was an acting teacher when she wasn't moonlighting in character movie roles.<br /><br />The photography in "The Wolf Man" is especially notable.  With loads of smoke to simulate mist, the actual limitations of the soundstage were masked and the forests seemed endless, though the actors had only a few yards to run in one direction or another.  Tight editing makes the forest look deep and expansive.<br /><br />"The Wolf Man" rightfully became an iconic creature.  The monster is an unwilling one, infected by a werewolf's bite and thus doomed to seek human prey.  Chaney, though not one of Hollywood's brighter lights, is very good as Larry, who knows he kills while in werewolf form and is tormented by the knowledge. The viewer sympathizes with his plight.  At a mere 70 minutes, this is Chaney's best and best-remembered film.  It co-stars Ralph Bellamy, Patric Knowles, and Universal's scream queen, Evelyn Ankers.<br /><br />DVD extras are abundant on this two-disc set.  There's a making-of featurette, a gallery of original publicity materials, feature commentary with film historian Tom Weaver, a look at werewolf mythology, a retrospective of the film career of Chaney, Jr., a well deserved tribute to Jack Pierce, who created the make-up not only for Chaney's werewolf, but also for the other three Universal monsters; and "Universal Horror," a splendid documentary about the making of some of Hollywood's most memorable horror flicks.
