Oops, double post...

Let's see, what pre-1970 film have I seen recently?

I just rewatched The Wolf Man 1941. It's funny that Larry Talbot goes home to England and there's so many Americans in the town. The "inspector" is American. The love interest is a local who's American. Pretty weird.

The werewolf that attacks Larry is totally a wolf, but Larry turns into a furry man. That's a head scratcher.

The nighttime moonlit fog filled forest sets are great -- probably the most iconic set in horror film history.

Lon Chaney Jr has a knack for evoking audience compassion for his aching heart. That helps the film tremendously, cause it needs it. The scenes with the gypsies are the gold standard of the film; Bela Lugosi and Maria Ouspenskaya steal the show. Other than that, re-watching the film... it's a bit cringey for me.
