The Cobweb
The Story of the Strange Mansion on the Hill!
Directed by Vincente Minnelli
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A mid-century institutional drama that uses a trivial conflict over décor as a lens into the psychological tensions and power dynamics simmering beneath the surface of a psychiatric hospital.
Patients and staff at a posh psychiatric clinic clash over who chooses the clinic’s new drapes – but drapes are the least of their problems.
