Title: Case of the Missing Werewolf
Review: Nothing much happens in this very minor mystery (not really a horror film) from Universal's post-classic era. As in PRC's Devil Bat's Daughter (also 1946), a tortured girl believes herself to be a monster on the prowl as a result of a tainted heritage or a legendary curse. If you're looking for werewolves in London, you better look elsewhere: lycanthropy only appears as the title of a book read by the heroine. Fans of the Sherlock Holmes series might enjoy the presence of Dennis Hoey as a diligent Scotland Yard inspector (unlike Lestrade), Lloyd Corrigan as a Watson-like assistant, character actors Martin Koslek (Persuit in Algiers)and Frederick Worlock (Dressed to Kill), plus the garden weeder from Scarlet Claw. Also in tow is scotsman Jimmy Finlayson -of Laurel & Hardy fame- as a uniformed constable.
