The Lone Wolf Strikes is a 1940 crime drama film directed by Sidney Salkow starring Warren William, Joan Perry, and Eric Blore.[2]
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).[3] Warren William starred in nine of these films (1939–1943). His next film was The Lone Wolf Meets a Lady, later the same year.[4]
