What happens

Time Limit is a 1957 American legal drama film directed by Karl Malden, based on the 1956 Broadway play of the same name by Henry Denker and Ralph Berkey. The film is Malden's only directing credit; in his autobiography, Malden stated that he "preferred being a good actor to being a fairly good director." Richard Widmark co-produced the film and stars alongside Richard Basehart, who was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actor for his performance. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
