The clip Lycanthropia from The Wolf Man (1941) with Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains

Morning, Larry.
You're up early.
Why, yes. I heard people in the corridor. Is there anything wrong?
Richardson was killed last night. The gravedigger.
The tracks lead up to this house.
Footprints?
No, animal tracks. A wolf.
A wolf? Where do you suppose a wolf came from?
He might have escaped from a circus or a zoo.
What is this story about a man turning into a wolf?
You mean the werewolf?
Yes, sir.
It's a legend. You'll find something like it in the folklore of nearly every nation.
The scientific name for it is lycanthropia. It's a variety of schizophrenia.
That's all Greek to me.
Well, it is Greek.
It's a technical expression for something very simple.
The good and evil in every man's soul.
In this case, evil takes the shape of an animal.
I can figure out most anything if you give me
electric current, tubes and wires - something I can do with my hands.
But these things you can't even touch!
What's the matter with you, Larry?
Well, nothing, sir.
But do you believe in these yarns?
Larry, to some people, life is very simple.
They decide that this is good, that is bad. This is wrong, that's right.
There's no right in wrong, no good in bad.
No shadings and greys, all blacks and whites.
That'd be Paul Montford.
Exactly.
Others of us find that good, bad, right, wrong, are many-sided, complex things.
We try to see every side, but the more we see, the less sure we are.
Now, you asked me if I believe a man can become a wolf.
If you mean "Can it take on physical traits of an animal?" No, it's fantastic.
