Review of The Werewolf of Washington (1973) by Ben R — 11 Feb 2011
Dean Stockwell is bitten by a werewolf in Hungary, then returns to the US to serve as assistant press secretary to the President; he conveniently turns into a werewolf only when characters important to his employer's political fortunes are around.
The movie is a huge mess in terms of style and tone: it's like they started with a script for a political thriller, altered it to be a crappy werewolf movie, and then decided about halfway through that it worked best as a comedy.
Biff McGuire, who's like a poor man's Hal Holbrook, does an occasionally amusing caricature of Richard Nixon, and there's a secret laboratory in the basement of the White House where a mad scientist conducts secret government experiments.
