PLOT: “An attorney acting as a body guard, apparently kills a man in defense of his employer’s life, and later believes the victim was set up to be murdered.” Directed by Michael Gordon Writers: William Bowers (screenplay), Bertram Millhauser (screenplay) Stars: Ella Raines, Edmond O’Brien, William Bendix and Vincent Price. The Web is a black-and-white film noir thriller telling the story of Bob Regan (Edmond O’Brien) a small-time attorney from the wrong side of the tracks who nonetheless has a lot of dedication — is representing a vegetable pushcart owner in a damage suit against multi-millionaire Andrew Colby (Vincent Price). Things are complicated when Colby offers to hire him, for a lot more money than he is making or ever stood to make, but not as an attorney — rather, as a bodyguard/troubleshooter. https://antonellapatsidou.wordpress.com/2015/10/05/the-web-1947-film-noir/
