Five Minutes to Live

(1961)Directed by Bill Karn73 min · GCrime, Thriller
“How could she extend the moments he had given her?”

Johnny Cabot (Johnny Cash), a guitar-playing hired gun, walks into a suburban house and holds Nancy Wilson (Cay Forester) hostage while his partner works the other half of the job. That job is the robbery of the bank where her husband Kenneth (Donald Woods) is a trusted employee. Bill Karn keeps the camera inside the Wilsons' home, and Nancy has to get through the hours with a man who plays his guitar and tells her what he wants.
