Mark Stevens directs and stars in "Time Table," a 1956 crime thriller that intricately weaves a tale of a meticulously planned train robbery. The narrative centers on a physician, stripped of his license, who orchestrates a daring heist using a fictitious patient as a pawn to access a valuable "black bag." The plot unfolds with escalating tension as investigators, including the protagonist Charlie Norman and railroad investigator Joe Armstrong, race against time to unravel the elaborate scheme. The film cleverly details the thieves' attempts to cover their tracks, from ditching the getaway vehicle to utilizing a helicopter, all executed with a precise "time table." However, a single misstep hints at the mastermind's downfall. The story culminates in a surprising twist, revealing the mastermind and a final, unexpected intervention by his wife, which ultimately foils the perfect crime. "Time Table" offers a compelling look at criminal ingenuity and the unforeseen circumstances that can unravel even the most precise plans.
