What Rod Serling would do so much better on Twilight Zone less than a decade later is flawed here, showing a troubled housewife Sylvia Sidney investing in time at a strange bank where the account manager admits that he is from a far-off planet. She thinks she is wise and investing time in a new account, but things brings nothing but trouble in her life and leaves her alone and panicky. Sidney, one of my favorite actresses whether as a young lady playing long suffering poor girls or grouchy older women decades later, here, she over emotes as a panicking woman who realizes that her life is running out of time and she must do what she can to prevent that time from running out. It is a convoluted mess, much in need of another 5 or 10 minutes more to really explain sensibly the premise, and at only 24 minutes, is frustrating and noisy.
