"Running Time" is a 1997 independent film written, produced & directed by Josh Becker. Principal cast members are Bruce Campbell, Jeremy Roberts and Anita Barone. The movie is of particular interest for two points. First, it was filmed in real time similar to Robert Wise's noir boxing film "The Set-Up" (1949). Secondly it also tracks as a continuous take with no cuts, rather like Hitchcock's "Rope" (1948). For esthetic and practical reasons Becker opted for black & white, offering a neo-Noir feel and giving him less problems in scene transitions. One truly has the sense that you are following the action, uninterrupted for the entire 70 minutes.

Plot

A prison inmate (Campbell) receives early release only to immediately rejoin his former criminal cohorts in a heist. In the hour or so he rekindles a romance with an old flame (Barone) and realizes the "good ol' days" with his partner in crime (Roberts) just might not have been so good.
