This is not a film of the Fifties era as we all know – but I was so taken with this colour still, I just had to include it.

LON CHANEY Jr and  JACK PIERCE preparing for filming a scene in  THE WOLF MAN 1941  

This is a Colour Photograph as we see Jack Pierce applying Lon Chaney’s make-up during filming

Lon Chaney Jr had lived under the shadow of his famous father, but in ‘The Wolf Man’ he helped create a horror icon that has lasted for over sixty years. He had already produced a wonderful performance  in ‘Of Mice And Men'(1939).

In ‘The Wolf Man’ he was again very good. Probably though it type cast him as horror film actor.

The film also had that great fim actor Claude Rains as Lon Chaney’s Father.

 ‘The Wolf Man’ is an undisputed horror classic, and just as entertaining and interesting as it ever was.

This film still – in Colour – makes me wish the whole film had been done in Colour – maybe it has been colorised I and not sure – it it has I will buy it
