Cry of the Werewolf (1944)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Henry Levin
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Contrived reworking of the Marie Laveau legend in Louisiana. Here, a gypsy princess changes into a wolf and terrorizes a voodoo museum in New Orleans. Intrepid policeman Barton MacLane investigates the murders that result. The suspects include a young woman who is the daughter of the museum owner and her scientist boyfriend. The transformation scenes are done using shadows or a simple dissolve.
