| Cry of the Werewolf was another good obscure movie I was glad to discover
After looking at the list of werewolf movies on Wikipedia, I remembered this particular one was on YouTube so after watching Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man on YT, I decided to watch this one there since it was next in my chronological list of werewolf movies to watch list. Nina Foch-who I mainly remember from An American in Paris-is quite compelling as the title character as she tries to keep people outside of her gypsy family from finding out about her secret. The setting is New Orleans, Louisiana, which is a two-hour drive from my current residence of Baton Rouge but I'm guessing that this was shot on the Columbia backlot. Perhaps part of me was confused by some of the details in the story but for the most part, I was enthralled at Cry of the Werewolf. So, yes, that's a recommendation!

Trivia

During the opening credits (and scenes early in the film) to get the wolf to repeatedly open and close it's mouth as if it were barking or chewing, they put a rubber band around it's muzzle.

Quotes

Opening Titles: The ancient belief is still held by many that anything that happens in the world is never lost. No sparrow falls unnoted ~~ no tree crashes in the forest unheard. The sorrows, the joys, the loves and the hates of past generations live on in people's...

Goofs

In order to get the wolf to snarl and gnash it's teeth for the camera, a clearly visible rubber band was placed around it's upper jaw and snout. It is most easily seen in the footage running behind the opening credits.
