Cry of the Werewolf, also known as Daughter of the Werewolf, is a 1944 film starring Nina Foch, based on a story by Griffin Jay and directed by Henry Levin.
A Romany princess descended from Marie LaTour has the ability to change into a wolf at will, just like her late mother. When she learns that Marie LaTour’s tomb has been discovered, she decides to use her talent to kill everyone who knows the location, because it is a sacred secret that only her people are allowed to know.

This is often cited as the first film to have a female werewolf in it, but an early short silent called The Werewolf (which is indeed the first werewolf film ever made) used that plot device first, in 1913. Unfortunately this film is now lost.

DAMN the woman is ugly
Or perhaps if you tell people that you have already died for long enough they will finally let you rest in peace. Lest they might think you resurrected as a dog, to pass on their own fleas.
The wolf looks like he has peanut butter in his mouth, Lol
Time
At around 1:01:45 when the shot the "werewolf", didn't it sound like a cat? Fun film-thanks for posting during these times!
What many of the faux film buffs don't realize is the history of films like this one. A studio like Columbia had two or three A-list films every year. That's why we had Capra's classics or Robert Montgomery's sublime "Here Comes Mr. Jordan." But Columbia NEVER lost $$$ until 1958 because the studio specialized in little B movies. They were the bottom ohalf of a double bill, usually barely over an hour, but always entertaining. I used to movies like this one all the time at my little neighborhood theater. As 9 pm approasched, we weren't lookuing for Olivier, just something entertaining which we'll think about when we got home no lster thasn 10:30 pm. If that offends the young know-it-alls, so be it. Some day, they'll gain maturity and civility.
Nina Foch was at one time married to James Lipton.
Non mi piace solo perché non capisco la lingua inglese dunque proponetemi solo film in italiano grazie
Milton Parsons should have been a funeral director. He is the perfect stereotype. Actually I know a few who are a lot like him.
today movies look like cartoons nothing compared to the 1950s
I guess they couldn't find a real werewolf to play the part. It's still a fun movie though.
Love the potential CHEESECAKES????
Elsa was everything!!!! this was a really good movie!
Great old movie. But the weak link was "Bob" who showed zero grief for his father's sudden vicious killing by some unknown beast. He was even jovial! Bad acting on his part, but the rest was great.
Really well done.
It's obvious the studio spent a lot of money on special effects! Still a fun film to watch though werewolf mythology was a bit sketchy to explain the events. I thought a WW could only be killed with a silver bullet.
The woman who plays Elsa looks remarkably like the pre-glam Marilyn Monroe in the close-up at 50:24 et seq. Incidentally, in the Lon Chaney Wolfman in an early shot the wolfman is actually just a wolf, as in this film, but later the Jack Pierce make-up is used, so the producers must have had a change of heart how to present the monster.
Nice to hear Handel's Largo in the funeral home. Note the mispronunciation of "secretive" at 37:33 or so. Pronounced like that the word means secreting something, not being private.
Great old movie, The girls were so classy. Not like the rubbish on TV these days.
Hard to believe that Stephen Crane was once married to Lana Turner.
A Zippo lighter
very good movie just watched it love werewolf movies
I loved watching these shows as a kid when TV first came to our home..I still love them and the actors that made them scary and entertaining
Did he say "I've been spending some very interesting moments"?
ah..how did they determined that the finger prints were a woman's? Do female fingerprints have some special swirls?
Love the German Shepard dog at the start chewing a toffee, to look as it's howling.
Since when is Transylvania a country?
My dog used to do that when I gave him peanut butter.
That tour at the opening scene was superbly written and delivered, along with a tight, informative, intriguing and stimulating content.
It was well put together with great visual presentations. I LOVED it!
No swearing,no t and a,no oodles of blood,and you have to use some imagination.
Personally I prefer the older films , writers had an imagination. Not like today it's all been done.
I Love these Old Movies! They show you how people can be! much more mature and less coarse then they are now!
That's one beautiful wolf at the beginning. Wonder if that was a little dig at MGM's Leo the Lion?
These were the best old scary movies . watched them when I was a kid . The mummy . The bat , the ware wolf , the invisible man and of course Frankie baby . They were scary movies but good scares . not blood and guts .
Gee, no exploding car crashes or bloody mass murders, just a fun movie!
,I am glad YouTube is showing this,via Horace mah,thank you.I think this is a good variation of the Werewolf movies,made in the 1940's and has an interesting twist of a plot.Old countries,like Hungary,Romania,did have stories,about werewolves,vampires,which were legendary,and I think,still remain with people in those countries today.
I for one think this B Horror Movie is terrific and, well made!!!!
Wow the museum guide’s one creepy English p.o.s.
Imagine overcoming a face like that to become a low grade actor to be in a
Grade D Movie- nevertheless IT would be a great entry and
Story for that museum he is WORKING AT.
Interesting tactic; the doggo in the opening credits has a rubber band around the top of his muzzle to make him show his teeth and look menacing to the viewer.
Best werewolf movie
love these old movies. they're great.
What makes the oldies great are the actors and the pace of tension and suspense. Dont need the shock factor of blood and gore to have a great movie.
Barton Maclane > Treasure of Serrria Madri.
In
I couldn't get pass the rubber band on the German shepherd's nose.
If you are not a fan of these wonderful B movies then move along , because plenty of us appreciate them .
There is always the simpleton with the limp.
Someone should tell the god Dr. the combover isn't working . @1540 what's with the pizza dough hat ?
