When I was 15 or 16 (1979 or 1980), PBS ran an hour long program with 3 short films. This was before the Internet or big time cable. One of the films was about this very subject. It was done extremely well, tightly written, but done as an indie film, maybe a college project. I do not know the name (it was not In Time) but the subject, characters, everything except the gun fights, is the same (except of cource, the new film is 2 hours instead of 20 mins). I have never seen anyone refernce it in this forum. Anyone out there seen what I saw 33 years ago? Maybe I dreamed it. I so want to find the original - it was so good (and short.)

BTW - if you like short indenpendent films, one of the other films PBS showed that night was a no-talkie 20 minute film showing dancers portray evolution, from primordial soup to humans. It was mesmerizing. I am not a dance efficianado, but I understood (without words) each stage they portrayed. I have searched youtube for that one, also. No dice. I have written PBS, they have no info back that far. I figure if I can find one, I can find the other.

I'm sure you can look it up on Youtube. You can look damn near everything up on Youtube nowadays. If you don't know the title, name an actor who stared in the film. If you don't know that, name a director. AND if you don't know that, name a tagline that came from the movie. Youtube will know it.
