Four Hours to Kill!

is a 1935 American drama film directed by Mitchell Leisen and starring Richard Barthelmess.

With four hours to kill, Taft takes his prisoner to a theater where an unfaithful schemer named Mae is a hostess.

Eddie doesn't want his fiancée Helen to hear this, true or otherwise, so he tries to raise the money to pay Mae's blackmail.

[3] The New York Times called it "a gripping, although extremely theatrical, melodrama with a neatly dovetailed plot, a uniformly excellent cast and well paceed direction".
