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)

Plot summary
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Christopher Plummer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jack Nicholson, James Spader
Worn down and out of luck, aging publisher Will Randall (Jack Nicholson) is at the end of his rope when a younger co-worker (James Spader) snatches both his job and wife out from under his nose. But after being bit by a wolf, Will suddenly finds himself energized, more competitive than ever, and possessed with amazingly heightened senses. Meanwhile, the beautiful daughter of his shrewd boss (Michelle Pfeiffer) begins to fall for him - without realizing that the man she's begun to love is gradually turning into the creature by which he was bit.

George: Excuse me, sir, can I help you? Oh, Mr. Swinton, I didn't recognize you.
Stewart: I'm here to see Miss Alden, George.
George: Well, I'm afraid I'll have to call. May I ask your business with Miss Alden?
Stewart: My business is pleasure, George. Does she look like the fuck of the decade or what?
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.
