      In order to get the wolf to snarl and gnash its teeth for the camera, a clearly visible rubber band was placed around its upper jaw and snout. It is most easily seen in the footage running behind the opening credits.
    • 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 memories, in their legends and their stories. Perhaps our story is something that has lived on in a person's memory or perhaps it is just a legend ~~

    A different take

    One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed by Henry Levin; Produced by Wallace MacDonald for Columbia Pictures release. Screenplay by Griffin Jay and Charles O'Neal; Photography by L. W. O'Connell; Edited by Reg Browne; Musical Director: Mischa Bakaleinikoff. Starring: Nina Foch, Stephen Crane, Osa Massen, Barton MacLane, Blanche Yurka, John Abbott and Fritz Leiber.

    Good use of the supernatural werewolf legend in this tale of a gypsy girl haunted by her dark destiny. The film takes a healthy "oral history" approach towards the supernatural element. Special effects money is saved by having the werewolf look exactly like a wolf rather than like a wolfman.
