About Me

My Photo
I am a short story writer hoping to gain inspiration from the greatest films of all-time. I am also seeking motivation to watch these films, many of which I’ve put off seeing for years. I like to think I have achieved both of these goals, at least to a degree. I’m not a movie critic, though I do let an opinion slip out on occasion. I’m just trying to write where my motivation takes me. I’ll continue with it as long as the desire remains strong. The book I am using for my main guidance is "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." I have the 5th edition, but there are newer editions out there.

DOG DAY AFTERNOON (1975)


The 70's Rivers, Day 18

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
This tale of a bank heist that goes horribly wrong is one of the 70’s films that seems to have really improved with age. Great combo of acting (led by Al Pacino), directing(Sidney Lumet) and story (Oscar winner Frank Pierson)

The Lumet River
The Lumet River was one of the longest running of the seventies rivers. It ran mighty long before the 70’s, but may have ran its strongest during that decade.

  1. I don't understand why Sidney Lumet directing the film and a description of the Lumet river is neccessary. Again, great film with great John Cazale.
