La vita corre sul filo (The Slender Thread) è un film del 1965 diretto da Sydney Pollack. Debutto di Pollack sul grande schermo dopo alcune regie televisive, il film fu ispirato da un articolo di Shana Alexander pubblicato il 29 maggio 1964 dalla rivista LIFE nel quale la giornalista descrisse la lunga conversazione tra un volontario di un centro di soccorso telefonico e un'aspirante suicida.
