The Wolf Man (1941)
10/10
One of my personal favorites,and the best of the three Universal Horror Icons
7 March 2003
Larry Talbot a young student,has returned from his trip to America. He meets his Father,who is sad over the loss of his brother. He needs help with a telescope. Larry takes a peek into a store's window,and meets beautiful Gwen,a storekeepers daughter who is engaged. Talbot rushes to the store,and they fall in love. They quickly go to a fair,where they meet Bela,and his mother Maleva. Bela is a werewolf,he attacks a girl,and Larry comes to the rescue,but is bitten and becomes a werewolf himself! Really good plot. Lon Chaney gives one of the best performances of his career. Really great! I love it! The best of the three Universal Icons. No wonder Chaney called this role his "Baby". It made him a star. Everyone say's he could never reach his father,but to that I say Ha! Great movie!

6/5

I only give this to movies I truly and deeply love!
