SPIDER AND THE FLY

Original 1952 Release Set of 8 14 inch x 11 inch glossy Photobbies for the 1949 Robert Hamer Thriller THE SPIDER AND THE FLY, based on a story by Robert Westerby and starring Eric Portman, Guy Rolfe, Nadia Gray, George Cole, John Carol, Harold Lang, Edward Chapman, Maurice Denham, John Salew, May Hallatt, James Hayter, Arthur Lowe, Sebastian Cabot and Philip Stainton.

The Spider and the Fly is a thriller, set in France just before and during World War I. Inspector Fernand Maubert (Eric Portman) is plagued by inept functionaries and blustering politicians. He is far more impressed by the safecracker Philippe de Ledocq (Guy Rolfe), a man whose dedication to his craft fully matches Maubert’s, despite him operating on the wrong side of the law. But Maubert is convinced that this can be changed, given the right circumstances – such as a vital espionage job for the French government.

The set is in very good condition.
