I have to admit that when I sat down to watch the 1968 movie "Beware the Black Widow" that I thought I was in for a crime horror movie, as it was listed as such.

The storyline in "Beware the Black Widow", written by Walter M. Berger, was a somewhat dull script and storyline. It was a storyline that was told in a manner where the narrative jumps back and forth, and thus forces the audience to keep focusing on what is going on. It was jumping back and forth between journalists talking and a burlesque bar and the events taking place there.

Be prepared for a fair amount of singing and dancing during the burlesque bar scenes. Personally, it was not something I cared a whole lot for, and thus I found those scenes to be somewhat annoying, especially since the added-in audience sounds were lifeless and laughable to listen to.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress in "Beware the Black Widow". Some of the acting performances were actually good, when you get acting performances in between the singing and dancing.

The music in the movie was really bad and didn't really belong in that kind of movie. It was more like something you would expect from the circus or from a silent movie.

I found the movie to be too bland and uneventful. And the storyline just never really managed to sink its hook in me.

My rating of director Larry Crane's 1968 movie "Beware the Black Widow" lands on a three out of ten stars.
