The Spider and the Fly
The Spider and the Fly is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 1938, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Few amateur films with sound were produced in the 1930s and fewer remain extant. A charming artifact that demonstrates the expressive possibilities and technical limitations of amateur talkies, "The Spider and the Fly" includes a backyard Labor Day gathering, a trip to the Riverview Amusement Park, and a homemade Halloween parade of witches and ghouls.
