The Lone Wolf Strikes is a 1940 crime drama film directed by Sidney Salkow starring Warren William, Joan Perry, and Eric Blore.[1]
The Lone Wolf character dates back to 1914, when author Louis Joseph Vance invented him for a series of books, later adapted to twenty-four Lone Wolf films (1917–1949).[2] Warren William starred in nine of these films (1939–1943). His next film was The Lone Wolf Meets a Lady, later the same year.[3]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This is a good, made-to-measure, suspenseful film, although the plot is at times a trifle confused. Warren William is an attractive hero, Eric Blore an amusing and resourceful butler, while Joan Perry makes a charming heroine."[4]
