Five Minutes to Live (1961)


Sutton Pictures
Directed by Bill Karn
My rating:  1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Small time hoods Vic Tayback and Johnny Cash hold a suburban housewife hostage while attempting to shakedown her bank executive husband. Only problem is their marriage is on the rocks and the husband wouldn't mind at all if they killed her. Cash is cast as a cold-hearted killer who snarls a lot and plays guitar at inappropriate times. Unfortunately his acting chops can't keep pace with his attitude. That problem extends to many of the other actors as well, including little Ronnie Howard.
