DENNIS COLE, RENÉE ASHERSON & PATRICK BARR 'TIME IS MY ENEMY'

Title: TIME IS MY ENEMY Year: 1954 Rating: **1/2

British actor Dennis Price made a living as smooth-talking lowlifes in British b-movies, and in 1954 he's a blackmailer for TIME IS MY ENEMY, crashing on his wealthy ex-wife who thought he died... while instigating cop Duncan Lamont, really the main character here, tries figuring things out...

This low-budget British programmer talks more than acts with dialogue over action, including an opening heist/murder that's only discussed through exposition... wasting characters like Price's two femme fatale lovers Barbara Graley and Susan Shaw, ultimately giving most of the work to initial ingenue-victim Renée Asherson, who even gets to wield a smoking gun to have some 11th hour crime-genre fun, which everybody on board here needed much more of.
