Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943)
(<— link)

______

Opening Statement: Hey, I think you're onto something there. Dr. Jekyll Cures the Wolf Man!

Dr. Jekyll develops a formula that cures himself, removing the evil Mr. Hyde and making him into a downright saintly guy. He persuades Talbot to let him try the formula as a cure for the evil of lycanthropy.

And it works! Sort of . . .

It turns Larry into a downright kindly werewolf who wouldn't harm a fly!

The only side effect is that Talbot can't change back to human form. He's basically sort of like the X-Man known as Beast — except that he's not blue.

I love the idea of the congenial Larry Talbot as a permanent werewolf who desperately wants to convince people that he's no longer dangerous. Perhaps he'd seek out the elderly gypsy woman, Maleva, and show her that he's a "changed man" — so to speak. She convinces the other gypsies that Talbot deserves their help, and they agree to hide him.

A sequel would be called I Was a Gypsy Werewolf.
