Web of Suspicion

Web of Suspicion is a 1959 British crime film directed by Max Varnel and starring Philip Friend and Susan Beaumont.

It was written by Brian Clemens and Eldon Howard and produced by The Danzigers.

[1] Schoolteacher Bradley Wells is wrongly accused of murdering a girl pupil, and is nearly lynched by angry townspeople.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The doggedly inept line of investigation followed by the police, and the idea of a lynch mob in rural England, are just two factors which rob this routine crime story of all conviction and suspense.

The weak plot is given flat direction and stolid acting, and only the backgrounds arouse some slight degree of interest.
