Johnny Cash, Ron Howard, Vic Tayback, Cay Forester
Career criminal Fred Dorella (Vic Tayback, TV’s “Alice”) narrates the film in flashback, detailing a suburban bank robbery that goes awry. In his simple plan, he hires a hard-up hood, Johnny Cabot, to take the wife of the bank's vice president hostage. Noted for the great performance by Johnny Cash as a psychotic crook Cabot. Originally released in 1961 as “Five Minutes to Live,” this low-budget crime drama was later re-released as “Door-to-Door Maniac” and is presented under that title in this newly restored version.
