The Glass Web
The Glass Web is a 1953 3D film noir directed by Jack Arnold and starring Edward G. Robinson, John Forsythe, Kathleen Hughes, and Eve McVeagh. It is based on Max Simon Ehrlichs 1952 novel Spin the Glass Web.
When the film was first released, The New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther gave the film a negative review, writing, Aside from the price of silence, which seems a most original one, there is little else that is original or even startling in this film. Katherine Hughes, who plays the blonde number, makes a dainty dish of poison, it is true, but the rest, including the performances of the two gentlemen, is pretty routine. As for suspense, it is evident who did the murder all the time. And it is plain that Mr. Forsythe will not be butchered. So what goes with this sort of show? Pardon a slightly pointed comment, but its the kind of film you might see on TV.
