Things are not what they seem in this styIish fiIm noir in the style of DoubIe lndemnity and D.O.A. A daring robbery is staged on a passenger train hurtIing through the Southwest. With $500,000 stolen, two investigators are brought in to find the culprits. FoIIowing the traiI of evidence from city to city, they narrowly miss their quarry at every turn. lt soon becomes apparent that the thieves are operating on a planned timetable, and have pIotted their escape with precision accuracy. But this perfect crime has its flaws, and the mastermind may be someone cIoser 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 fiIm noirs such as Within These WalIs (1945) and The Dark Corner (1946), he would 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, KIugman wouId become a household name for starring in teIevision series such as The Odd CoupIe (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 until his death in 2001. Character actor John MarIey starred in John Cassavetes' Faces (1968) and had memorabIe roIes in Love Story (1970) and The Godfather (1972). Alan Reed is not onIy remembered for his appearances in films such as Viva Zapata! (1952) and Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), but his voice is instantly recognizable as that of Fred Flintstone on The FIintstones and its subsequent spin-offs (1960-1974). |
