A very short 61 minute Universal Film staring June Lockhart when she was 24 years old, 14 years prior to being Timmy's Mom on Lassie, Four women live together June plays the part of being the sole inheritor of and estate and is coming of age. There is a female werewolf running about, at least that's what were lead to believe, but is it June, is there a she wolf, well you will have to watch to find out, Another 4 star old school movie.

I knew it, I'm a werewolf! This is an interesting tangent in the old horror film genre, and if you like werewolf movies you might like to check it out, but otherwise it's kind of a silly movie.

Why is this in the Wolf Man Legacy Collection? OK, it deals with rumors being spread about and the psychological fear of a werewolf. It reminded me quite a bit of the movie Rebecca and in particular the relationship between Mrs. Danvers and Joan Fontaine's character. Except there is no suspense here. You see it coming a mile away. The men take a back seat while the four main women are the primary focus. June Lockhart is a young woman engaged to be married. She is afraid of dogs, and afraid she may be turning into a werewolf to commit murders in a nearby park. She can't remember what she does at night, but never sees herself transform, nor do we, though the simple obvious answer is she sleeps. Sara Haden is the matron of the house, a woman who is not who she appears to be relations-wise, who is obviously up to no good, and who keeps giving June's character drinks to calm her nerves. Huhm??? Jan Wiley plays the daughter of Sara's character who really is not too bad. She doesn't really have much of an idea what her mother is up to. Then there is Eily Malyon as the housekeeper who thankfully eavesdrops and keeps an eye on all this shady stuff so there is a witness in the end. Despite the fog and shawl, the camera still gives a clear view of who the she-wolf is. Can you guess?
