Web of Suspicion is a 1959 British crime film directed by Max Varnel and starring Philip Friend and Susan Beaumont. It was produced by the Danziger Brothers. [1]
Schoolteacher Bradley Wells is wrongly accused of murdering a girl pupil, and is nearly lynched by angry townspeople. With the help of his art teacher girlfriend Janet he discovers the real murderer, and works with Janet to clear his name and save the school from another tragedy.
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." [2]
