Five Minutes to Love (originally known as The Rotten Apple, Junk Yard Love and It Only Takes Five Minutes) is a 1963 American drama film directed by John Hayes and starring Rue McClanahan as Poochie, a woman who lives in a junkyard. The film was critically lambasted, and later picked up by exploitation filmmaker Kroger Babb.
Plot Young couple Ben and Edna, along with their baby, are on their way to California when their car breaks down. Ben walks to a local junkyard looking for a part to fix his car.
At the junkyard, the seedy owner Harry is being accused of selling stolen auto parts. Ben appears in perfect time to be a scapegoat and Harry tells the police he's the one who's been supplying stolen cars.
When Ben fails to return in the time she expected, Edna goes in search of him and is chased around the junkyard by Harry's strange friend "Blowhard".
