O Crime da Semana

Essentially known as the master of science fiction Jack Arnold astonishes us in this 3-D Noir offering Glass Web where the arts mimic the life, in a contrived plot about a weirdo TV show weekly aired exposes several murders intitled as Crime of the Week sponsored by a famous tobacco company, turns out that such company wasn't so happy concerning the low audience and seemingly won't renovate the sponsorship.

Oddly enough falls from sky a great opportunity due a mediatic crime carried out in that night involved a beauty woman Paula (Kathleen Hughes), all evidences point out as passionate crime supposedly committed by a jealous husband arrested at jail, thus the wiser technical adviser Henry Hayes (Edward G. Robinson) proposes emulate this case on the upcoming Crime of the Week, even against the will of the head writer Don Newell (John Forsythe).

However the police suspects that such girl Paula had something linked with TV show's crew members and expect some hints to lead to real killer, in fact both Hayes and Newell had a torrid affairs with the femme fatale, the story is told by many flashbacks that implies both as true lovers, nonetheless whoever killed the B-girl remains unknown...yet!!

Thanks for reading.
