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 Saincaize George ColeMarc, detective Harold LangBelfort, the pickpoc Edward ChapmanMinister for War Maurice DenhamColonel de la Roche John CarolJean Louis / Alfred May HallattMonique Arthur LoweTown Clerk Sebastian CabotPrefect Jeremy SpenserJacques Madge BrindleyJacques' Grandmother Hattie JacquesBarmaid John SalewMinister's Secretary James HayterMayor Patrick YoungCaptain le Maitre Keith PyottFather Pletsier Natasha SokolovaNicole Porte Philip StaintonCafé Manager Hal OsmondSwiss Taxi Driver Alastair HunterWatchman at Legation Gerald AndersenCoding Clerk Andreas MalandrinosBank Watchman Charles PatonCafé Schader Waiter Dido PlumbBlind Beggar Iris VandeleurCleaning Woman Trailers
