The storyline intertwines the destinies of three people. Guy Rolfe plays Phillipe de Ledocq, a resourceful safecracker who always manages to elude arrest. Eric Portman is cast as police-chief Maubert, who will not rest until Ledocq is behind bars. And Nadia Gray is Madeleine, the woman beloved by both Ledocq and Maubert. Just as Maubert has managed to capture his man, Ledocq is released at the behest of the government, who wants him to steal secrets from the German embassy revealing the whereabouts of the Kaiser's secret agents. And just how does Madeleine figure into all of this? Spider and the Fly is a diverting precursor to the 1960s TV series It Takes a Thief." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi Cast [27] Eric PortmanFernand Maubert Guy RolfePhilippe Lodocq Nadia GrayMadeleine Sainca George ColeMarc, detective Harold LangBelfort, the pic Edward ChapmanMinister for War Maurice DenhamColonel de la Ro John CarolJean Louis / Alf May HallattMonique Arthur LoweTown Clerk Sebastian CabotPrefect Jeremy SpenserJacques Madge BrindleyJacques' Grandmo Hattie JacquesBarmaid John SalewMinister's Secre James HayterMayor Patrick YoungCaptain le Maitr Keith PyottFather Pletsier Natasha SokolovaNicole Porte Philip StaintonCafé Manager Hal OsmondSwiss Taxi Drive Alastair HunterWatchman at Lega Gerald AndersenCoding Clerk Andreas MalandrinosBank Watchman Charles PatonCafé Schader Wa Dido PlumbBlind Beggar Iris VandeleurCleaning Woman Trailers
