Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe second of Universal-International's 3-D films directed by Jack Arnold (the first was It Came from Outer Space (1953)), this movie was tested in both 2-D and 3-D. Audiences did not prefer the 3-D version and (as a result of sub-standard projection of the stereoscopic 3-D process and the resulting prejudice against 3-D) many preferred the 2-D, flat version of the film. The 3-D version was rarely, if ever shown. There is no evidence that the 3-D version ever opened commercially in Los Angeles and may not even have been shown in New York or other major cities. A 3-D print does exist today, proving (in addition to the studio records) that the film was completed in that format. It premiered in Hollywood 50 years after its production, on 17 September 2003 at 3D Film Expo at the Egyptian Theatre with Kathleen Hughes (Miss 3D) in attendance.
- GoofsWhen Don drives with Henry to the studio and "takes the wrong road", the exterior shot at that moment shows him with what appears to be a female passenger instead of a character wearing a hat, as what Henry is wearing.
Featured review
Really thrilling!
In The Glass Web, Kathleen Hughes stars as an ambitious actress willing to sleep her way to the top. She's very attractive and is clad to the nines in gowns by Bill Thomas, and she has that "Marilyn Monroe" cunning aspect which serves her purpose very well. Robert Blees and Leonard Lee's screenplay is quite good, with fun quips and interesting twists around every corner. It's no wonder the characters are all very smart, since the story revolves around a true-crime television program that pays attention to the slightest detail. Richard Denning is the producer, Edward G. Robinson is the casting and technical director, and Richard Forsythe is the writer. Each week, their program reenacts a murder and explains how it was done, the motivation, and how the killer got caught.
At first glance, The Glass Web might seem like just a typical thriller, but there are so many surprises throughout the plot - starting with the opening scene! I'd definitely recommend this movie, especially if you like your movies soapy and dramatic. I could make my review longer with more compliments, but I don't want to give a single thing away. It's so exciting when you watch it with absolutely no idea of what's going to happen next! I found myself talking to the television and trying to advise the characters - and since I've seen so many movies, it's a real tribute to The Glass Web that I was so engrossed.
