Step inside "the Castle," a large private psychiatric facility. Here, Dr. Stewart McIver (Richard Widmark) devotes night and day tohis profession while neglecting his pining, voluptuous wife (Gloria Grahame). A colleague (Charles Boyer) with a fondness for boozeand a pretty face seeks to comfort the wife. Now add Lauren Bacall, Lillian Gish, John Kerr, Susan Strasberg, Oscar Levant andsubplots of love, life and derangement and you have the entanglements of The Cobweb. Some critics gleefully skewered the film'slabored storyline about patient involvement in the choice of library draperies, but pay no heed. With its top cast and VincenteMinnelli's command of color and melodrama, this film is popcorn for fans of soaps.
