Cry Of The Werewolf (1944) -- (Movie Clip) It Is Your Destiny We haven't seen top-billed Nina Foch for 20-plus minutes in this 63-minute feature but now she's back, as New Orleans metro-area Gypsy princess and pretty-sure werewolf Celeste, visited by janitor Jan (Ivan Triesault) whom the cops have all-but nailed for her last murder, leaving her little choice, with counsel from Blanche Yurka, in Columbia's Cry Of The Werewolf, 1944.
Cry Of The Werewolf (1944) -- (Movie Clip) Fresh Fire On The Grate Due to voodoo messages suggesting he might be on the verge of a discovery, Dr. Morris (Fritz Leiber) has entered a secret chamber at his New Orleans occult museum, leaving tour guide Peter (John Abbott) with the cat, while his assistant (Osa Massen) collects his son (Stephen Crane), whom he summoned home from a research trip, from the airport, in director Henry Levin's Cry Of The Werewolf, 1944.

My Name Is Julia Ross (1945) -- (Movie Cilp) I Don't Look Crazy, Do I?

Lewis' My Name Is Julia Ross, 1945.
My Name Is Julia Ross (1945) -- (Movie Cilp) I'm Strong As An Ox Hard-up Julia (Nina Foch) has rushed to respond to an exciting classified ad, meeting first "Miss Allison" (Anita Bolster), then Mrs. Hughes (Dame May Whitty) and son Ralph (George Macready), who are for sure up to no good, early in Joseph H. Lewis' My Name Is Julia Ross, 1945.
Face Behind The Mask, The (1941) -- (Movie Clip) What Do You Get Out Of Being Dead? Considering suicide, unable to find work after being disfigured in a fire shortly after his arrival in New York, Hungarian immigrant Janos (Hungarian-born Peter Lorre) frightens a citizen, then meets ebullient Dinky (George E. Stone), in The Face Behind the Mask, 1941, directed by Robert Florey.
Face Behind The Mask, The (1941) -- (Movie Clip) Why Don't You Look Where You're Going?

I Love A Mystery (1945) -- (Movie Clip) Small Black Valise In flashback, detectives Packard (Jim Bannon) and "Doc" Long (Barton Yarborough) recall the night they met (since deceased) Monk (George Macready) and Jean (Carole Mathews) through restauranteur Vovaritch (Leo Mostovoy), in I Love A Mystery, 1945.
