The Cobweb,’ Movie From Best-Seller,
Tells Gripping Drama of Psychiatry
M-G-M brings its film versionl
in Cinemascope and color of Wil
liam Gibson’s dramatic best-seller
novel, “The Cobweb,” to the
screen of The Theater with the
year’s outstanding cast.
Playing stellar roles in this ab
sorbing drama of what takes
place behind the scenes of a psy
chiatric clinic are Richard Wid
mark, Lauren Bacall, Charles
Boyer, ' Gloria Grahame, Lillian
Gish, John Kerr, and Susan Stras
berg, with other prominent parts
tilled by Oscar Levant, little
Tommy Rettig, Paul Stewart,
Jarma Lewis, Adele Jergens, Ed
gar Stehli and child actress San
dra Descher.
It was directed and produced
respectively by Vincente Min
nelli and John Houseman, who
gave the screen another all-star
hit, “The Bad and the Beautiful,”
with Houseman also the producer
of “Executive Suite” and "Julius
Caesar.”
The picture brings to life all
the arresting and varied charac
ters of Gibson’s novel, with Rieh
1 ard Widmark cast as the clinic’s
administrative head, Gloria Gra
ham as his frustrated wife,
Charles Boyer as his rival, Laur
en Bacall as the woman who re
fuses to break up his marriage,
and Lillian Gish as a domineer
ing spinster who helps spin the
cobweb of discord and jealousy
which culminates in a series of
dramatic episodes involving both
the administrative personnel and
the clinic’s patients.
Of the latter, John Kerr and
Susan Strasberg stand out in their
first appearances before the mo
tion pictcre cameras. Kerr is the
young actor who scored a spectac
ular hit on the Broadway stage
in "Tea and Sympathy,” and Miss
Strasberg is the girl who won
critical acclaim for her portrayal
of Juliet in a coast-to-coast TV
presentation of “Romeo and Ju
liet." The appearance of Lillian
Gish as the spinsterish Victoria
Inch brings this famous actress
back to M-G-M for the first time
in 27 years.
