Things are not what they seem in this styIish fiIm noir in the styIe 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 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 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 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 modeI, appeared in films including Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) and CharIey Varrick (1973), and was married to screen Iegend Jack Lemmon from 1962 until his death in 2001. Character actor John MarIey starred in John Cassavetes' Faces (1968) and had memorable roIes 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). |
