    • Trivia
      This film made up much of its werewolf mythology out of whole cloth. The ideas that being bitten by a werewolf makes one a werewolf, that a werewolf changes under the full moon, and that werewolves were wolf/man hybrids were completely made up. In folklore, one becomes a werewolf deliberately by practicing witchcraft and can change into a wolf at any time desired. However, this film's mythology, and that of others after it, heavily influenced pop culture views of werewolves to the point that these are now regarded as "official" mythology.
    • Goofs
      Multiple characters use the term "lycantrophobia" as the "medical term for werewolfery". The suffix "-phobia" is used to mark an irrational fear of something, so this usage actually means "a fear of turning into a werewolf". The correct term is "lycanthropy".
    • Quotes

      Dr. Yogami: The werewolf is neither man nor wolf, but a Satanic creature with the worst qualities of both.

    A minor classic.
    WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935) does not satisfy as a whole, but it does have some memorable spots. The basic plot tells of a introverted botanist (Henry Hull) who is stricken with the ability to become a werewolf. The film's great moments are peppered through out. There's the beautifully photographed scene in Tibet, where moonlight is almost sun-beach bright. There's the bit in the zoo with a cockney hag fooling around with the zookeeper. Hull's perfomance is superb. We feel his anger over his failed marriage to much younger Valarie Hobson, his fear over his new affiction. It's a shame the screenwriters didn't dwell on his marriage more. The film has a humdinger of an ending, especially with the werewolf's last line.
