Inevitable escape

 

Time Lock (1957)


Directed by Gerald Thomas this film based on the play of the same name stars Robert Beatty, Lee Patterson and Betty McDowall. A six year old gets locked in a bank vault, can they get him out before the air runs out?


There is not a lot to this one, you know they will never let the kid die so it is just a case of waiting for the expert to turn up to save the day. I would actually be pretty interested to see how this one is supposed to be staged as a play given all the industrial machinery used in it. Really the only reasons for watching this is to see Sean Connery in an early bit part and that the writer of the original play went on to write Airport.


2/5
