Time Limit

Intense and wonderfully acted. Malden has a good eye for the small details - little moments like ogling a watch and fumbling with a map give his movie a strong sense of life. It's a shame this was his only director's credit.

A stage-bound movie, but an intelligently written one, without any easy heroes or reassuring villains. Karl Malden, a fine actor himself, knows how to direct his talented stars, and Basehart and Widmark are very fine--particularly in their scenes together. Also worthy of note is a young Rip Torn, who delivers a fine performance in a difficult supporting role.

Thought provoking and stagey with intense performances from Widmark and Basehart. The rest of the supporting cast is strong as well. Unfortunately, the plot seems to ignore the Geneva Convention.
