A diverting maritime caper featuring a stolen yacht, giving a caricature of Long Island society, by novelist Eric Hatch (1910-1973), a Long Islander himself. A movie adaptation of Five Days had been announced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in mid-1933, which was to have featured Jimmy Durante and Stuart Erwin, but the project appears to never have come to fruition. Five Days was reprinted in a paperback edition in 1948, under the title Five Nights.
