Werewolf of Washington is a horror-comedy film that was released in 1973. It is directed by Milton Moses Ginsberg, who is known for his low-budget films. The movie stars Dean Stockwell as Jack Whittier, a press aide to the American president who transforms into a werewolf. Katalin Kallay plays Eva, Jack's love interest and the daughter of the Romanian ambassador. Henry Ferrentino portrays Dr. Kiss, a mad scientist who is responsible for Jack's transformation.

The story begins with Jack Whittier, a news reporter with a history of being fired from various jobs, being appointed as a press aide to the American president. Jack is sent to Budapest to conduct an interview with the Romanian ambassador, and it is there that he meets Eva, his daughter. Jack is immediately smitten by Eva and they begin a romantic relationship.

While on a hunting trip, Jack is attacked by a werewolf and is bitten. He returns to Washington and starts to experience strange symptoms: his hair grows rapidly, he becomes more aggressive, and he craves raw meat. Jack soon realizes that he is turning into a werewolf himself.

As Jack tries to understand and control his newfound powers, he starts to fall apart both personally and professionally. His transformation happens at the most inopportune times, causing chaos in the White House and embarrassing the president. Dr. Kiss, the mad scientist, discovers Jack's secret and tries to use him for his own purposes.

Throughout the movie, Jack struggles to reconcile his human and werewolf sides. He tries to keep his true nature a secret from Eva, but she eventually discovers the truth. Together, they try to find a cure for Jack's condition before it's too late.

Werewolf Of Washington is a movie with a split personality. On the one hand, it aims to be a horror movie with all the trappings of the genre. On the other hand, it's also trying to be a satire of politics and government bureaucracy. This duality is reflected in the movie's tone, which shifts from serious to silly at a moment's notice.

The movie has an uneven pace, with some scenes dragging on and others feeling rushed. The acting is also a mixed bag, with Stockwell doing a decent job as Jack but some of the supporting cast falling flat. The special effects are primitive by today's standards, with the werewolf makeup looking more like a Halloween costume than a movie monster.

Despite its flaws, Werewolf Of Washington is an interesting movie. It's a product of its time, when the genre of horror was in a transitional phase. The movie tries to play with the conventions of the werewolf movie, but it doesn't quite succeed. Instead, it ends up being a mishmash of horror and comedy that never quite finds its footing.

In conclusion, Werewolf Of Washington isn't a great movie, but it's not a bad one either. It's a curiosity, an example of a horror movie trying to be something more. It's worth watching for fans of the genre, but it's not a movie that will change your life. If you're looking for a fun, campy horror movie, then Werewolf Of Washington might be right up your alley.

Werewolf Of Washington is a 1973 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.0.
