A coworker asked me to help identify a werewolf movie she saw as a kid in the 1960s. She remembered that it was set at a Spanish or Italian villa, and an evil nobleman threw a beautiful young woman in a dungeon. Here she's raped by a monstrous old prisoner who'd been in the dungeon for years. She manages to escape, and gives birth to a child on Christmas, which my coworker remembered was a bad omen in the film.
Years later the child has grown into a man, and turns into a gray-furred werewolf.
I wanna say it sounds like a Paul Naschy flick, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?
Possibly: "The Curse Of The Werewolf".

Definitely Hammer's CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054777/). No question.
The insane prisoner who rapes the girl is played by Richard Wordsworth. The werewolf is none other than Oliver Reed!

The plot of the movie (the woman raped and her son growing up to be a werewolf) is somewhat akin to the old William Smith movie
Grave of The Vampire. That's another one needing DVD release.
Actually I have seen
Curse Of the Werewolf and Oliver Reed's werewolf reminds me a bit of the one that Benicio Del Toro played in the remake of
The Wolfman. There was some influence there.
As most other people have posted, this is "The Curse of the Werewolf." I would add, this is the only werewolf film made by Hammer Film Productions.
