Johnny Cash Is A Mean Motherfucker In This Rare Crime Noir

director: Bill Karn
starring: Johnny Cash · Donald Woods · Cay Forrester · Pamela Mason · Vic Tayback · Ron Howard

The year was 1961 and Johnny Cash accepted this project as his entrance into motion pictures. He probably regretted his mean-spirited role in this bleak, crime-noir thriller. But for this film he is evil incarnate and his performance alone makes this a must-see cult film. The film was originally released in 1961 and then four years later re-released (edited) under the title 'Door-to-Door Maniac.'

The story deals with a suburban robbery that goes awry. Cash plays Johnny Cabot. He is part of a plot that involves a home invasion and a resulting ransom demand. Cabot - posing as a door-to-door guitar instructor - forces his way into a house, taking Nancy Wilson hostage. She is the wife of bank vice-president Ken Wilson. Meanwhile, Cabot’s partner pushes into Mr Wilson’s office demanding $70,000 for his wife’s safety. The banker - secretly hoping to leave his wife and run away with his secretary - is reluctant to give into the demands. His decision to stall the payoff allows psycho Cabot the opportunity to torment Nancy before things turn very ugly.
