Planet X - Spider Web

Hooray for B-movies! This is from 'The Strange World of Planet X', also known as Cosmic Monsters.

An attractive scientist comes to the rescue of a trapped schoolteacher, only to stumble into a giant spider's web and need rescuing herself in true 50's women-are-mostly-only-good-for-fainting-and-screaming fashion. I'm glad this is a trope that's mostly becoming a thing of the past.

That said, I kept the beginning bit in because I adore the teacher's reaction to opening the door - classic!
