NEWMAN & HOLDEN DO ALLEN AGAIN IN 'WHEN TIME RAN OUT'

rating: ***1/2 |

Year: 1980 |
The talent involved, also including Burgess Meredith, are somewhat wasted, seeming part of an extremely bland FANTASY ISLAND episode. Meanwhile the token young starlets include Veronica Hamel (who was in Allen's sequel to POSEIDON ADVENTURE, the original featuring this film's Borgnine and Buttons) and native beauty Barbara Carrera, eventually becoming pretty wallpaper compared to Bissett’s female lead although, other than her Faye Dunaway-style attraction for working class Newman, she really doesn't do very much but prove that gorgeous women can be smart and down to earth... around a man who deserves them, that is.
