Description: Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the classic 1960's French/Italian co-production of FIVE MILES TO MIDNIGHT (original title: Le couteau dans la plaie), released in the US in 1963 by United Artists and directed by Anatole Litvak. The film takes place primarily in Paris. Lisa (Sophia Loren) is Italian; Robert (Anthony Perkins) is American. Immediately after Lisa declares that she is leaving her immature, abusive, but easy-going husband Robert, he is reported dead in a plane crash. Secretly still alive, he convinces her to collect his life insurance, although she knows that it's a bad idea. Lisa must contend with the complications of the scheme, which involve an aggressive suitor (Gig Young), Robert's jealousy, and her own guilt. Eventually, the stress of putting up with Robert is too much for Lisa, and she runs over him and disposes of the body and car in a lake. The suitor realizes what she did as she has a mental breakdown and calls the police. As indicated in the center of the bottom border, this is lobby card #6 f rom the set of 8 cards. The image features a great close shot of co-stars Sophia Loren and Anthony Perkins. It is unrestored in fine condition with a Canadian censor stamp above Perkins' left shoulder; random signs of light wear in the borders, and a few pinholes in or near each corner. There are no tears, stains, or other flaws and the color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.
