Jean Yarbrough's 'She-Wolf of London' (1946), starring June Lockhart, is dull, dull, dull. In the handsomely photographed but one-note story, Ms. Winthrop desires Phyllis Allenby's inheritance and attempts to trick Allenby (Lockhart) into thinking she's also inherited something else - the family curse - lycanthropy! Marketed as a horror film, Yarbrough's picture is not only devoid of such an element, it's also missing a she-wolf. So, at only 61 minutes, the running time is the best thing about this production, and even that's too long! Not recommended for horror fans; not recommended for anyone except June Lockhart completists. But be warned: June's performance here is less than adequate.
