Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the film when Jack Nicholson hits the wolf, his car spins around 180 degrees in the snow, but there are no marks from the wheels in the snow when he approaches the hit wolf. (00:03:25)
Wolf (1994)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Christopher Plummer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jack Nicholson, James Spader
Stewart (James Spader) is transforming into a wolf because of an earlier bite by Will (Jack Nicholson). Before going to the police station Laura (Michelle Pfeiffer) put Will in a stall in the barn at his request. After seeing Laura at the station Stewart follows her home where he kills her two guards. He chases Laura into the barn where he is trying to rape her. Will becomes enraged and takes off the protective necklace (given to him by a doctor to keep him from changing to a wolf permanently). He leaps over the stall and goes after him. The fight continues, ending when Pfeiffer shoots Spader. Nicholson runs into the woods where he turns into a wolf. The police and Laura's dad (Christopher Plummer) arrive. She plays dumb about the situation but as she walks away toward the trees she asks if Det. Bridger (Richard Jenkins) would like "another" drink. When he whispers to the other detective 'how did she know that' Laura replies, "You can smell it a mile away." As Laura's keeps walking, her eyes begin to turn yellow and she smiles. Note: When the doctor gave Will the necklace he mentioned that some people could turn into wolves by just having a great desire to be with one or wanting to become one. No bite was necessary.

Trivia: If you want to see Michelle Pfeiffer done up as a Michael Jackson look-alike watch her when she leaves her garden house shortly before her metamorphosis. (01:53:10)
Question: Was Will the one who murdered his wife, or was it Stewart in an attempt to get Will charged with murder, so he could get his job back and not have to deal with Will anymore?
When Charlotte met Will in the hotel lobby about her "mistake" with Stewart, she said that she would talk to him about it. Will refused to listen and told her to keep away from him. He didn't want to be anywhere near Charlotte, and after she left the hotel, she probably went to talk to Stewart anyway. Considering the kind of person he really is, he murdered her. It was even said that there were more deaths besides her, all done by Stewart.
I also think it was Will, out of anger because she cheated on him.

Answer: It was Stewart. The wolf, as Dr Alezais says, removes everything from a person except for the person's nature and heart. Stewart, when talking to Laura at the estate, states that she knows what happened to Charlotte, which was his subtle way of saying he had murdered her.
