*AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON:

Picture of '81
(ie a 1981 movie)

Or one of 12
(ie a singular "Yank" or AN AMERICAN)

Cursed with regular 9
(Monthly "Transformations" e.g WEREWOLF)

In place of The 4/5ths of 6
(eg first 4 letters of "Ritzy" - The Ritz)

And The 21 with extra 4th (in 3rd place)
(eg The "Stand" with the fourth letter of "extra" (R) in third place to give The Strand. The Ritz and The Strand are both IN LONDON)

Ed. it came with a royal dedication
Director John Landis added a message to the final credits: “Lycanthrope Films Limited wishes to extend its heartfelt congratulations to Lady Diana Spencer and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales on the occasion of their marriage – July 29th 1981.”
