The Maltese Bippy (1969)

MGM
Directed by Norman Panama
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Rowan and Martin try to duplicate their TV success Laugh-In on the big screen, with only middling results. Martin's new mansion turns out to have a family of werewolves living next door. When bodies start to turn up and he has urges to bark, he suspects he may be one as well. Rowan is a Hollywood producer trying to capitalize on it. It's a tired story filmed mostly on a familiar studio back lot. The opening credits and ending break the fourth wall and are even slightly amusing, however everything in between is not.
