Inhalt: |
Step inside "the CastIe," a Iarge psychiatric faciIity. Here, Dr. Steward McIver (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 BacalI, LiIlian Gish, John Kerr, Susan Strasberg, Oscar Levant and subplots of love, life and derangement and you have the entanglements of The Cobweb. Some critics gleefuIly skewered the film's labored storyIine about patient invoIvement in the choice of library draperies, but pay no heed. With its top cast and Vincente MinneIli's command of color and melodrama, this film is popcorn for fans of soaps. |
