THE WEREWOLF (1956) **1/2 "How do you explain something like this to a wife and kid?" "You think you have all the problems in the world and then you see something like this happen to someone else...(to bartender) I think I'll have a straight shot!" The dialogue almost makes this one dumb enough to be truly brilliant. Certainly the ultimate failure is not on Steven Ritch's (the Werewolf) part. There is little in cinema as truly hysterical as a grown man with an extremely limited acting range recoiling and shuffling about as an overly wrought werewolf. The horror! The terror! I mean, it really is awful if you think about it.
