John Ireland, Honor Blackman, and a title like The Glass Tomb, how could I resist checking out this little farce of a film. John Ireland plays a bit somber here but he's still effective and brings a much needed credibility. As for Blackman, her part is so small that makes her billing seem like false advertising. There's a large cast of supporting actors all of which do a nice job with their parts. The issue here is the script/story. So many things happen but with to reason or explanation as to Why? Several killings take place and except for the starving man himself, one is left wondering why anyone else had to die. The concept of folks waiting in line to see a large man not eating, and the colorful cast of carnival folks is kind of fun. Despite some plot holes and all, at 59 minutes, The Glass Tomb is still fairly watchable.
