The Wolfman (1941)

I saw The Wolfman for the first time last year, but it gets even better on a rewatch, what sets it apart from the other Universal monster movies is that all the characters are functional, likable and you can relate to them. I like how human Talbot is. His flaws mesh pretty well with his affliction.

I think the film does a good job in presenting mass hysteria/schizophrenia/primal drives as possible explanations if the viewer were to take the lycanthropy to be more symbolic than literal. 

The Wolfman is also unmatched by anything else in the studio's genre roster, in terms of its cast, tragic protagonist, exterior sets and fog-drenched atmosphere. It’s just great. It’s officially one of my favorites now.

Remembering Ralph Bellamy (June 17, 1904 – November 29, 1991)

[newyorkthegoldenage]

One day in Hollywood, I read a script in which the character was described as "charming but dull—a typical Ralph Bellamy type." I promptly headed for New York to find a part with guts.

State of the Union, by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, opened on November 14, 1945 at the Hudson Theater. Starring were Kay Johnson, Myron McCormick, and Ralph Bellamy (shown above), Ruth Hussey, and Minor Watson. The play was a hit, running 765 performances and winning the Pulitzer for drama. Bellamy's character, an industrialist who becomes a surprise Republican candidate for president, was said to have been inspired by Wendell Willkie.

Three years later the play was adapted for the screen as a vehicle for Spencer Tracy (in Bellamy's role) and Katharine Hepburn.
