TIME TO KILL (1942) - colorized
Time to Kill is an American mystery film[1] directed by Herbert I. Leeds.[2] It is the first screen adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel The High Window,[3][4] which was remade five years later as The Brasher Doubloon. The detective was changed from Philip Marlowe to Michael Shayne for this version, with Lloyd Nolan playing the part and Heather Angel in a rare turn as leading lady. It is also the final Michael Shayne film starring Lloyd Nolan made at Fox, who closed down their popular B movie unit which included Mr. Moto, Charlie Chan, and the Cisco Kid. In 1946 the series would be reborn at Producers Releasing Corporation with Hugh Beaumont taking over the role.
