Five Minutes to Live is a 1961 American neo-noir[1] crime film directed by Bill Karn. It was re-titled Door-to-Door Maniac for an American International Pictures re-release in 1966. The film stars Johnny Cash, who wrote and sang the title song, and Cay Forrester, who wrote the screenplay and whose husband, Ludlow Flower, produced.[2]
Five Minutes to Live was one of only two theatrical film roles in which Cash performed on-screen in his career, A Gunfight, ten years later, being the other. While he appeared in The Road to Nashville in 1967, he played himself in a musical. Cash would appear in several made-for-television films and do some voice-over work in film later in his career.
