Moonwolf

In Moonwolf, Dr. Peter Holmes, played by Carl Möhner, is a zoologist and veterinarian who reluctantly allows his dog, Wolf, to be part of a scientific launch project. This project is commissioned by the International Conference of Science in Geneva and aims to study body function and survival in outer space. Holmes has a deep emotional connection with Wolf, having found him as a pup only to lose him in a flood, which adds tension to his decision.

The film features a notable cast including Anneli Sauli, Helmut Schmid, and Richard Häussler, each contributing to the narrative that blends human emotion with scientific exploration. Moonwolf delves into the relationship between humans and animals, particularly in the context of groundbreaking scientific endeavors. This film appeals to collectors of classic science fiction, especially those interested in international cinema from the late 1950s.
