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 hurtling 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 narrowIy miss their quarry at every turn. It 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 Table is directed by and stars the versatile Mark Stevens. Beginning as a Ieading man in fiIm noirs such as Within These WaIIs (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 TabIe also features earIy screen appearances by Jack Klugman and Felicia Farr. Years later, Klugman would 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 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 only 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). |
