Running Time (film)
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 aesthetic and practical reasons Becker opted for black & white, offering a neo-Noir feel and giving him less problems in scene transitions.
Famous quotes containing the words running and/or time:
“This place is the longest running farce in the West End.”
—Cyril Smith (b. 1928)
“I didn’t have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let’s say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
