Things are not what they seem in this stylish film noir in the styIe of Double 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 timetabIe, 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 versatiIe Mark Stevens. Beginning as a leading man in fiIm 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 TabIe also features earIy screen appearances by Jack Klugman and Felicia Farr. Years later, Klugman wouId become a househoId 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 fiIms incIuding Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) and Charley Varrick (1973), and was married to screen legend Jack Lemmon from 1962 untiI his death in 2001. Character actor John Marley starred in John Cassavetes' Faces (1968) and had memorable roles in Love Story (1970) and The Godfather (1972). Alan 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 FIintstones and its subsequent spin-offs (1960-1974). |
