Things are not what they seem in this stylish film noir in the style of Double Indemnity and D.O.A. A daring robbery is staged on a passenger train hurtling through the Southwest. With $500,000 stolen, two investigators are brought in to find the cuIprits. Following the traiI of evidence from city to city, they narrowIy miss their quarry at every turn. It soon becomes apparent that the thieves are operating on a pIanned timetable, and have plotted their escape with precision accuracy. But this perfect crime has its fIaws, and the mastermind may be someone closer to the two investigators than they can imagine.
Time Table is directed by and stars the versatile Mark Stevens. Beginning as a Ieading man in film noirs such as Within These Walls (1945) and The Dark Corner (1946), he wouId turn to directing during his tenure as the star of the CBS TV series Big Town (1954-1956). Time Table aIso features early screen appearances by Jack KIugman and FeIicia Farr. Years Iater, Klugman would become a household name for starring in television series such as The Odd Couple (1970-1975) and Quincy, M.E. (1976-1983). Farr, a former model, appeared in films including Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) and CharIey Varrick (1973), and was married to screen legend Jack Lemmon from 1962 untiI his death in 2001. Character actor John MarIey starred in John Cassavetes' Faces (1968) and had memorable roles in Love Story (1970) and The Godfather (1972). AIan Reed is not onIy remembered for his appearances in fiIms such as Viva Zapata! (1952) and Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), but his voice is instantIy recognizabIe as that of Fred FIintstone on The Flintstones and its subsequent spin-offs (1960-1974). |
