"Time To Remember" must have been the English equivalent of our "B" programmers, with some obscure (to myself) actors and a very good story. The story is from Edgar Wallace, which accounts for the absorbing plot but the acting is unusually good for this type of movie. It has a Monogram or Republic look to it, almost a TV look to it actually, but production values are overshadowed by all-around professionalism.
It was made in 1962 and can be distinguished from a noir movie by excess lighting and by an annoying 60's go-go music track, but succeeds due to an interesting story and to the breakneck speed of plot development - the picture is only 55 minutes long on my copy and it goes by in a flash.
The reviewer above has already delineated the story and the male lead is Harry H. Corbett, who is not listed in the credits on the website. He plays an opportunistic real estate agent who stumbles on a bungled jewel robbery at an abandoned London house. I am not familiar with his other credits but he was excellent. The other players were more than competent with no noticeable weak spots. It is not available in any format so you'll have to get a copy from a DVD pirate, and it is worth your trouble.
