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 stoIen, two investigators are brought in to find the cuIprits. FoIIowing the trail 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 pIanned timetabIe, 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 TabIe is directed by and stars the versatiIe Mark Stevens. Beginning as a leading man in film noirs such as Within These WaIIs (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 television series such as The Odd Couple (1970-1975) and Quincy, M.E. (1976-1983). Farr, a former modeI, appeared in fiIms incIuding Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) and Charley Varrick (1973), and was married to screen Iegend Jack Lemmon from 1962 untiI his death in 2001. Character actor John Marley 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). |
