I felt this...Insightful comments that ring so true. I felt this was Evelyn Ankers' best work in the genre, never more luminous on screen. Chaney's first two Talbot performances are also among his greatest work, and this is clearly the best writing in Curt Siodmak's often spotty career. I shed a tear at the conclusion here, just as I did for OF MICE AND MEN, guess I'm a real Chaney booster on this site! As an adult, with all the criticism that Chaney has endured over the years, it's hard to believe it's him under all the yak hair makeup, he's so completely in character. Perhaps the most perceptive comment about him is that he lacked the intangible qualities of Lugosi or Karloff, to rise above the material and make a bad movie watchable. THE WOLF MAN aired 9 times on Pittsburgh's CHILLER THEATER, and was part of the final show on Dec 31 1983, coupled with IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, both personal favorites of host Bill "Chilly Billy" Cardille (it had been 6 years since its previous airing).kochillthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843717929648076583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192773387267481562.post-1762563158016050112010-12-04T18:39:02.950-08:002010-12-04T18:39:02.950-08:00Glad you found us, prof...

The theater owner actually should not have let him in to the then age-restricted film, but eventually did after several pleas.<br /><br />Naschy embraced the werewolf character because the pathos and humanity were evident, as opposed to other "classic monsters."Mirekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502496299200777562noreply@blogger.com
