The Gilded Spider is a 1916 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, written by Ida May Park and starring Lon Chaney and Louise Lovely.

Kirkham suffers a heart attack when he sees Giovanni appear at a party in his home, and when Giovanni sees his daughter Elisa dancing at the party, he loses his sanity, reliving his wife's tragic death in his mind, and jumps off the roof to his death.

Perhaps though that prettiness will triumph over the casting, it will with the trousered portion of the audience, anyway...Lon Chaney's Giovanni is a strong piece of character portrayal."

Louise Lovely...plays well the role of Leonita...Lon Chaney also gives a good impersonation of the Italian."

--- Moving Picture World "Bluebird seems to have the idea that spending a lot of money on a production, with a good cast, is all that is required for the turning out of successful features.
