The Wolf Man is a great film in all respects. The 1935 Werewolf of London has a more tepid atmosphere. Dr. Glendon ( Henry Hull ) isn't as warm and likable as Larry Talbot. He's a serious man who is deep into botanical experiments and his beautiful wife Lisa is neglected by him. Valerie Hobson was only 17, but had a mature and elegant look. The great Warner Oland played Dr. Yogami with a mysterious touch. He seems more warm than Glendon at times. One can only feel sorry for the terrible events that befell both men and everyone connected with them.
Henry Hull refused to wear full makeup, where Chaney did. The music score was partially composed by Karl Hajos. The other cues were tracked from the music tapes of The Black Cat ( 1934 ) and The Invisible Man ( 1933 ) composed by Roemheld. You can also hear Tales from the Vienna Woods and Scenes That Are Brightest.
