Sven- The Wolfman (1941)

No need to see the trailer again, as I have shown that one a while ago.  I am always surprised at how short these early Universal movies are.  This one, like many of the others, runs 70 minutes.  It sure moves along quickly, but is also the perfect running time.  The cast is stellar, and the script is good.  Silver is still the only way to kill a werewolf, though Larry Talbot would return several more times in the next 10 years.

I also enjoyed the interview clips Sven sprinkled throughout the show.  It was fun to hear his history and see some of those original images from the show.  Someone should do a doc about Sven while he is still alive.  I'd watch that for a dollar!
