Rozina and Nanna are Mr. And Mrs. David, a couple who are constantly at loggerheads with each other - it's a miracle they married each other to begin with. Nanna is an earnest sort, devoted to his bottle which he has had to hit big time due to the constant hen pecking of his crazed if rather sultry and curvaceous wife played by siren of the late 60's Rozina. Here Rozina plays a woman consumed by greed - she trains her own daughters to snag rich men for their money without the slightest qualms about prostituting her own daughter for the sake of an easier life.

Mumtaz plays the role of spunky Sonia who is the less immoral of the two David daughters. The other sister Dolly is played by voluptuous beauty Ishrat Chaudhary who alas hasn't been given ample scope to display her incredible talent in this particular film. The film begins with Mr. and Mrs. David constantly bickering about money - he doesn't approve of her sleazy ways of trying to attain a fortune regardless of the lowly methods employed. Mumtaz marries her college beau Shahid and moves into a simple flat where the young couple has to fend for themselves on his pittance of a salary. Sonia (Mumtaz) becomes estranged from her mother due to her decision to marry a lowly clerk, but at first the young couple seem happy enough on their own. However slowly Sonia soon realizes that her desire for the fast life is becoming a burden on her and she yearns to be living the life of the rich and famous.

Slowly but surely she is willingly led astray by a smooth film hero Imran (Waheed Murad) who takes advantage of her lust for money to lure her away from her husband. Christmas arrives and proves to be a turning point for Sonia because feeling insecure, she borrows a massively expensive diamond sat (jewels) from her rich friend and proceeds to lose it during a bout of overly energetic jigging at the local club. Now all her simmering frustrations come to the surface and the money lusting (like mother like daughter) Sonia walks out on her husband leaving him in the lurch to pursue a career as a film ectress!

While Sonia plunges headlong into her role as screen siren with vigour, her jilted husband leaps headlong into a muddy river below in an effort to purge himself of his wretched existence. A bit of a wimp really, but we all know that he will be rescued by the usual passers by at some stage or the other, and so it transpires. This time however lady luck is shining amazingly on Shahid because not only is he rescued from certain death but his savour happens to be a multi billionaire who happens to be grieving from the loss of a son who was apparently the epitome of the nearly drowned Shahid. Eventually the adopted billionaire's substitute son (Shahid) returns home but in a nifty disguise as a big time film producer and proceeds to employ Sonia for a movie about…you guessed it, a treacherous wife who leaves her devoted for life amidst the stars.

Nazr-ul-Islam directed this rather convoluted and thoroughly entertaining Lollywood fairytale which alas failed to click at the box office probably due to the fact that it was more than just a re-tread of the recent blockbuster Aina which featured a very similar plot. The film is typical Lollywood fare - convoluted over-ripe drama hammed to the hilt with fairytale morals, yet enjoyable for being precisely that. The gravely voiced Mumtaz turns in a splendid performance as the girl led astray by the sparkle of all things bright and shiny and she builds herself a glorious Glass House of the films title which is the envy of the entire city, yet a glass house is inherently fallible and it remains to be seen whether her dream house will come crashing down or not.

Shahid does well as the trampled upon husband and Waheed Murad turns a new leaf as a slimy villain. Rozina is a scene stealer as the shrewish, scheming and maliciously evil mother who tries her utmost to squeeze as much cash as she can from her daughters. The film suffers for having very weak music and also for the fact that it was too much of a re-run of the recent Aina. That aside it is a vintage if stale slice of utterly typical Lollywood melodrama.
