DescriptionLobby card from the movie "Five Minutes to Live," starring Arkansas native Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash was born John R. Cash on February 26, 1932 in Kingsland, Arkansas, and raised in Dyess, Arkansas. Nicknamed “The Man in Black," Cash was a singer/songwriter, actor, and author (writing two autobiographies). He acted in both movies and television (including his own variety show, "The Johnny Cash Show"). Cash died September 12, 2003.
The movie is about a bank president's wife being held hostage until the bank president pays the ransom.
The poster has two distinct parts--one has a white background and the other is red--with red and black lettering. The red-tinted side of the poster shows an image of Cash running while carrying a boy under his left arm, a cop watching from the foreground. The white side of the poster shows a pie chart/wheel with images from the movie. Above the wheel reads, "How much will a woman pay to push back the clock!"
