A married television writer (John Forsythe) has been having an affair with a scheming actress (Kathleen Hughes) while working on a true crime TV series. When he finds her dead body, he removes some incriminating evidence that would link her to him. But it doesn't end there because a fellow employee (Edward G. Robinson) knows about their affair having been involved with the girl, too. Based on the novel SPIN THE GLASS WEB by Max Simon Ehrlich and directed by Jack Arnold (CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON). Shot in 3D (with some decent "comin' at ya" effects), this is a moderately entertaining crime movie with noir edging. As the adulterous man in the net, Forsythe's character didn't get any sympathy from me so I didn't care much about his fate. The (almost) always reliable Edward G. Robinson doesn't disappoint and brings some gravitas to his cuckold. Decent enough to hold your interest but no great shakes. With Richard Denning, Marcia Henderson, Beverly Garland, Jean Willes, Eve McVeagh and Hugh Sanders.
