One of the genre's better instalments

Another decent krimi moving featuring the gorgeous Karin Dor as a wide-eyed widow trying to get to the bottom of her husband's fiery death. Although not based on the works of Edgar Wallace (or indeed his son Bryan), THE WHITE SPIDER is one of the better entries in the genre, a slightly plodding and plot-focused first half giving way to some memorably madcap hijinks in the second. The villain turns out to be a master of disguise with some very nifty dressing up scenes, and the hero is of a similar ilk which gives this a Holmesian flair. There are also a couple of fine fight scenes which I wasn't expecting from this genre. A youthful Horst Frank appears.
