The Scarlet Web

Even by the lax standards of the British 'B' picture of the fifties, this is a peculiarly slapdash affair; and the comical drawing accompanying the main title seems to go some way towards acknowledging the makers' predicament (your guess is as good as mine if the title ever actually meant anything).

Leading actor Griffith Jones seems far too old for such frivolous shenanigans, but the film does boast two glamorous female leads for the price of one: Zena Marshall as the glossy blonde femme fatale, and brunette Hazel Court, initially wearing enormous glasses which she of course soon discards. There's also an amusing cameo as a fierce little secretary by a New Zealand actress called Molly Raynor.
