Five Days from Home

This movie was filmed close to my home town, so I was eager to see friends and acquaintances who made it to the big screen.

****SPOILERS***Buried little gem of a movie that actor George Peppard, as escaped from prison fugitive T.M Pryor, went into debt making as its star director as well as producer that paid for itself without much of an advertising budget but just plain word of mouth.

This is a sweet, unsophisticated, improbable little story about a prison inmate who breaks out to visit his critically injured son and, while on the lam, manages to win the heart of a gawky gal, a precious pup, and--by an act of unselfish heroism--an entire community! The plot is strained and simplistic, but, for those who can suspend the realization of harsh reality, it is supremely satisfying in its all-will-be-well premise.

I was the one who ran the movie five days from home staring George Peppard. I was there for the red carpet premiere in the Sping Theater in Springhill La..

I must say that I am a bit partial of the movie "Five Days From Home", not for its acclaimed fame, but for its sentimental value to me. This movie was made on location in my hometown of Springhill, LA.
