Lucky Werewolf

WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS’ DORMITORY- 1961/1963-New teacher  Prof. Julian Olcott (Carl Schell) arrives at a girl's reformatory  school with a secret past that seemed to have gotten him in trouble with the law. One girl Mary (Mary McNeeran) seems to have some kind of blackmail/sex for favors thing going on with older man named Sir Alfred (Maurice Marsac) but she becomes the first victim of a werewolf attack. The school is run by Mr. Swift (Curt Lowens) and Leonor (Grace Neame). Another girl Priscilla (Barbara Lass) figures something's going on. A pipe smoking inspector (Herbert Diamonds) investigates. Caretaker Walter takes Priscilla to meet the person who's being blackmailed but instead she meets dirty old man Sir Alfred’s demanding wife (Annie Steinert) who tries to buy the girl's silence. Later she meets Prof. Olcott in the woods and they have a discussion. After they part Priscilla is attacked by a snarling werewolf but a guard dog drives the wolfman away. While Priscilla remains in shock, Swift questions Olcott who admits he’s trying to find and cure the werewolf though he seems a likely subject himself. Then Walter invades the place while the girls are sleeping to get Sir Alfred's incriminating letters but almost has to smother one girl to death to do it. He runs up a tower and falls to his death but Swift discovers the letters. Later on after the identity of the wolfman is revealed he terrorizes Olcott and Priscilla until he's shot and killed. 

This fairly tame black and white Italy/Austria co-production is drawn out and the dubbing isn't that great. In American prints director Paolo Heusch is credited as Richard Benson.
