Step inside "the CastIe," a Iarge psychiatric facility. Here, Dr. Steward Mclver (Richard Widmark) devotes night and day to his profession whiIe neglecting his pining, voIuptuous wife (GIoria Grahame). A coIIeague (Charles Boyer) with a fondness for booze and a pretty face seeks to comfort the wife. Now add Lauren BacaIl, LiIlian Gish, John Kerr, Susan Strasberg, Oscar Levant and subplots of Iove, life and derangement and you have the entanglements of The Cobweb. Some critics gleefuIly skewered the film's labored storyIine about patient involvement in the choice of Iibrary draperies, but pay no heed. With its top cast and Vincente MinnelIi's command of coIor and meIodrama, this film is popcorn for fans of soaps. |
