Stars: Al Pacino, John Cazale, James Broderick, Charles Durning
Director: Sidney Lumet
On a hot Brooklyn afternoon, two optimistic losers set out to rob a
bank. Sonny (Al Pacino) is the mastermind, Sal (John Cazale) is the follower, and
disaster is the result. Because the cops, crowds, TV cameras and even the pizza man have
arrived. The "well-planned" heist is now a circus.
Pacino and director Sidney Lumet, collaborators on Serpico, reteam for
this boisterous comedy/thriller that earned six Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture),
and won an Oscar for Frank Pierson’s streetwise screenplay. Based on a true incident,
Dog Day Afternoon “Is one of the big ones, swarming with energy, excitement and drama”
(Gene Shalit, NBC-TV).
