The Curse of the Werewolf

Second scene, in which a beggar (Richard Wordsworth) in a Spanish town meets the notoriously cruel Marques Siniestro (Anthony Dawson) and his bride (Josephine Llewellyn), and a chef (Charles Lamb) and things get nasty, in Hammer Films’ Curse Of The Werewolf, 1961, featuring Oliver Reed.

Professor Carido (Clifford Evans) and servant Teresa (Hira Talfrey) puzzle over the wolf attacks in their 18th century Spanish village, worried that his semi-adopted son Leon (Justin Walters) might be involved, in Hammer Films’ Curse Of The Werewolf, 1961.

We’ve finally met Oliver Reed, introduced after 50 minutes, in 18th century Spain, as now-grown Leon, whom we know has wolfy tendencies, taking a job with Fernando (Ewen Solon), meeting colleague Jose (Martin Matthews) and the owner’s daughter Cristina (Catherine Feller), in Curse Of The Werewolf, 1961.

The mute servant girl (Yvonne Romain) awakens after being attacked by the long-imprisoned beggar, whom she finds dead, then confronts the Spanish Marques (Anthony Dawson) who also attacked her, before she’s rescued by professor Carido (Clifford Evans), narrating, and Teresa (Hira Talfrey), in Curse Of The Werewolf, 1961.
