About This Movie

Partners in Time, directed by William Nigh, offers a quirky blend of comedy and drama that feels very much of its era. The film has this charmingly laid-back vibe, typical of post-war cinema, where the pacing allows for leisurely storytelling. The flashback sequences are a delight, providing a glimpse into the origins of the Jot 'em Down store while also tying into the present-day drama of a young couple on the brink of separation. Squire Skimp's scheme adds a layer of tension, but it’s really Lum's heartfelt narration that carries the emotional weight. Performances are sincere, with a nice balance between humor and pathos, making it a unique piece that reflects the community spirit of Pine Ridge. It’s one of those films that captures a specific time and place with a gentle touch.
