A film about a man trying to fund a gender-affirming operation by robbing a bank sounds like a modern-day plot. But 50 years ago, that was the scenario for the classic film Dog Day Afternoon. We're featuring our interviews with director Sidney Lumet and with Al Pacino, who starred as the bank robber. Lumet gave his lead license to take the role as far as he wanted, and then pushed Pacino to do more. "It's really one of the best pieces of movie acting I've ever seen. It was blinding in its intensity, agonizingly painful," he told Terry Gross in 1988.Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai which has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with Oscar nominee Chris Sarandon. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including how he fell in love with Joanna Gleason during NICK AND NORA, bonding with the cast of THE ROTHSCHILDS, co-starring with Rex Harrison in THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE, his Oscar campaign for DOG DAY AFTERNOON, the cult appeal of THE PRINCESS BRIDE, why he felt limited as a replacement in TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, learning from Colleen Dewhurst and George C. Scott, why he wept every time he watched THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, the strangeness of putting together MARCO POLO SINGS A SOLO, why CENSORED SCENES FROM KING KONG didn't take off on Broadway, his collaboration with Ulu Grosbard, advising James Ivory on STREETS OF NEW YORK, and so much more.

Welcome! Our Sweaty Series continues with one of the sweatiest movies ever made—Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino. The film starts normally, but as Pacino's bank robbery turns into a lengthy standoff, the characters look absolutely miserable. Sidney Lumet's dramedy is a landmark of the 70s, and endures as a classic to this day. To pair, we'll enjoy a warm weather white wine. Next week: The sweatiest movie of the 90s. #Cinemavino #70s #BankRobbery #AlPacino
This film is based upon the true story of an attempted bank robbery occuring in Brooklyn, NY in 1972 which eventually became a prolonged hostage situaion and at the center of it was Sonny, a troubled soul who gets in way over his head. Sonny is played by Oscar-winner Al Pacino (The Godfather Trilogy, Heat, Scent of a Woman) and the film was directed by the late, great LEGEND....Five-time Oscar-nominee Sidney Lumet (Network, 12 Angry Men, The Verdict) smack in the middle of sterling '70's runs for both actor AND director! And the film itself become a phenonenon....not only a box office hit and an acclaimed Oscar contendor (six nominations including Best Picture and Best Director) but also one of the more influential crime drama's of the '70s AND one of the quintessential New York movies. It's a unique story taking several unexpected turns and is at various points tense, funny, and sad. This modern classic which about to turn 50(!) also co-starts John Cazale, Penelope Allen, Chris Sarandon, Sully Boyar, Lance Henricksen, James Broderick, and Charles Durning.

Dog Day Afternoon tells the story of a man, Sonny (Played by Al Pacino), and his best friend, Sal (played by John Cazale), as they decide to rob a bank to pay for Sonny's lover's sex change operation. But things don't go according to plan, Sonny & Sal end up taking hostages in a stand-off against the Police. Based on real events, this film features one of Al Pacino's greatest ever performances. It is still seen as a masterpiece fifty years after it was released.Film Critic Sheila O'Malley was exposed to Dog Day Afternoon from a very young age and it stayed with her through the years. She joins the podcast to explain why the film means so much to her, what going to the Actors Studio did for her to understand movies like this in greater detail and how Pacino's performance is full of vulnerability.

A true high point of the New Hollywood era gets the Kael Your Idols treatment this episode: Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon. We attempt to get to the bottom of this true tale of a robbery-gone-wrong by putting together the character's complex motivations piece by piece. Along the way we manage to show some love to Pacino, who puts in probably his best performance, and of course the legendary John Cazale as well. Other topics include: early portrayals of gay activism, Lumet's book ‘Making Movies', and Johnny Wojtowicz: the larger-than-life figure at the center of the actual event.
Holidays often mean we post a listicle...and so the Civic Holiday brings about our breakdown of the American Film Institute's greatest movies that DIDN'T make their 1998 or 2007 Top 100 lists. So there's no Citizen Kane, Godfather, Jaws action here. These are nominees that were shunned both times, such as Dog Day Afternoon, Ghostbusters, L.A. Confidential...and so many more. Bev listed her #100 down to #11 alphabetically while Ryan came up with categories in groups of 10. Then we each did a more thorough analysis of our Top 10 lists. So get cozy on this first Monday of August as the 679th edition of Have You Ever Seen highlights 100+ choices of outstanding American movies on this AFI's Not Quite 100 listicle. Well, Actually: Brad Pitt IS in 3 movies between our 2 lists, but one of them was just a tiny cameo in Being John Malkovich. Also, it appears that Martin Scorsese should not have been listed with the directors who have 3 movies on one or both of our lists (it's just 2). Also also, Sigourney Weaver WAS in an AFI movie, but her 3 seconds in Annie Hall was a cameo at the very end where you can barely tell it's her. Sparkplug Coffee? Why, they sponsor us.

Devin & James are back, and they're gonna need a bigger podcast. That's why they've brought back special guest CASEY O'CONNOR to discuss the blockbusters and award nominees of 1975! We start with a little film called JAWS, which some of you may have heard of before. We then move on to the Best Picture winner, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, followed by the Kubrick comedy (that's right, I'm calling it a comedy), BARRY LYNDON. We then take a turn toward Altman's NASHVILLE, before ending up in New York City for 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR and DOG DAY AFTERNOON. Along the way, we also give shout-outs to SHAMPOO, THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER, and THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. There must have been something in the water in 1975 (a shark, perhaps?) because these are some of the greatest, most influential, and important films ever made, celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year!
Chris Sarandon has been a working actor on the stage, movies and television for over 50 years. Besides his appearances on Broadway and being in countless TV series and major motion pictures, he is well known for playing Jerry Dandridge in Fright Night, Prince Humperdinck in The Princess Bride, Detective Mike Norris in Child's Play, and Jack Skellington's speaking voice in The Nightmare Before Christmas. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Leon Shermer in Dog Day Afternoon.
On episode 297 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello and AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer, Josh Parham, and Jay Ledbetter to go back 50 years and take a look at the 48th Academy Awards, covering the films of 1975. On this retrospective, the AW team take a look back at what might've been the greatest Best Picture lineup of all time, featuring the films One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Barry Lyndon, Nashville, Dog Day Afternoon, and Jaws. This group of five films collectively encapsulate the type of films audiences clamored for fifty years ago and are all considered all-time classic in their own right, some being the best film within their respected director's filmography. But the interesting exercise with this line-up is looking at the lackluster films surrounding these masterful films. But this is the fun part of the process of looking back and talking about a year like this, if it is a landmark year like others in the 1970s or if it just top heavy. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1975, briefly discuss talk about One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h40m.

After a month-long hiatus — and just before we take another — Jacob, Sage, and Tate are back at it with a review of the 1975 classic Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino and John Cazale. This gripping, unconventional heist film sparks a wide-ranging conversation about the real-life events that inspired it, including the Attica Prison Riots and the Life magazine article that formed the basis for the script. We dive into Pacino's powerhouse performance, the film's bold storytelling choices, and why Dog Day Afternoon still resonates nearly 50 years later.This movie was directed by Sydney Lumet.GD4AM: 85/100IMDb: 8.0/10Metacritic: 86/100Letterboxd: 4.3/5RT: 96%Three amateur robbers plan to hold up a Brooklyn bank.

And for this week's episode, we're heading into the Sewers archive to revisit my conversation with Jeffery from 2017, when we talked about forming a rebel theater troupe in his small southern hometown; testing his capacity for sass on television; and creating the circle of friends that he knew he needed in his life.We'll have that conversation in a minute.

This movie tries to be Dog Day Afternoon but with a used car salesman. Though Robin still makes a few jokes in this movie, there's not enough craziness to justify itself.
In this episode, I explore the iconic 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon with guest Jake Flores, delving into its themes of class struggle and socio-economic issues of the 1970s. We analyze Sonny's character, who conducts a bank heist to fund his partner Leon's gender-affirming surgery, and discuss the film's impact on LGBTQ+ representation.Our conversation examines the media portrayal in the film, particularly the "Attica" scene's relevance to contemporary justice movements. By unpacking the film's climax, we highlight its stark reality within a decaying socio-economic landscape, emphasizing its enduring significance in discussions around identity, resistance, and the intersection of art and politics.Jake Floreshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-damn-america/id1271019505https://x.com/feraljokeshttps://x.com/WhyYouMadPodhttps://x.com/IDKYPodhttps://www.instagram.com/feraljokes/Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector

As you might've heard, I have a new video up on YouTube about the film Dog Day Afternoon, and a queer bank robber who stunned New York way back in the 1970s. For this week's episode, we're diving into the Sewers of Paris archives to explore queer life (and, occasionally, crime) in New York of the ‘70s. Back in the spring of 2020 I spoke with a man who remembered that era well; he earned the nickname Tree thanks to his six-foot-five stature, and he's been a part of New York's gay community going back to the fifties, when he didn't even know a community existed. Tree's been a member of Brooklyn street gangs, worked with the mob, and counted among his friends Buddy Holly, Bea Arthur, and Rock Hudson.
Recorded - 3/30/2025On Episode 315 of the Almost Sideways Movie Podcast, we go back and dive into an all-time classic bank heist film. Is Dog Day Afternoon the best that Al Pacino has ever been?

In 1966 the Mayor's Office of Film was established to try and encourage local filmmaking, in the hopes that it might help boost the economy. What resulted were films that presented a raw and unfiltered version of the city on the edge of crisis. Starting April 1, the Criterion Channel will feature a collection of films under the headline "Fun City: NYC Woos Hollywood, Flirts with Disaster," featuring films like "Dog Day Afternoon," "Cotton Comes to Harlem," "The Panic in Needle Park," and more. Writer and film critic J. Hoberman, who served as a film critic for the Village Voice and curated the Criterion series, discusses this period of film history. Hoberman's forthcoming book is called The 1960s New York Avant-Garde: Primal Happenings, Underground Movies, Radical Pop.
It's a simple enough show this week, kids. We're just looking at a bunch of movies from half a century ago. 1975 was a game-changing year in film. Early 70s trends like blaxploitation and dystopian sci-fi were about to be swept aside, as a certain giant Spielbergian shark ushered in the blockbuster era. But meanwhile, the year still offered some genuine classics (Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), some cult classics (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Rocky Horror Picture Show), some Disney for the kids (Apple Dumpling Gang, Escape to Witch Mountain), giant spiders, crazy mamas, blazing stewardesses, switchblade sisters, and plenty of Pam Grier. So pop in a Glen Campbell 8-track and cruise over to your local ugly 1970s movie theater. And grab a big box of Raisinets, even though they're lousy. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network!

This week on the free feed, we're getting into not only a titan of Heist cinema, but a titan of early Al Pacino. You can imagine which of us was practically chewing the bars of their cell waiting to get to this one. Dog Day Afternoon is the true-ish story of a pair of men who held up a New York City bank in 1972, and every single thing that could have gone wrong went wrong.

AL PACINO needs no introduction. In 2018 he joined us for a relaxed conversation that centered on his documentary “Wilde/Salome,” about his stage production of an Oscar Wilde play featuring a newcomer named Jessica Chastain. But without much prompting he also discussed his career at large, from The Godfather and Dog Day Afternoon onward. His recently published autobiography taps into his way of thinking…but you'll get a taste of that here, as Leonard and Jessie chat up one of the greatest actors of our time.
You ever seen Dog Day Afternoon? Neither have we. This week Nando, DJ, and Diggins hack in, jack up, and net down to watch the movie from, and we cannot stress this enough, Summer 2001 that asked the question "Can we hack terrorism?" Swordfish. They nitpick the computers, the parents, and of course the falling. Recommendations: DJ - Sonic Roll (game) Diggins - Evil Does Not Exist (movie) Nando - Powerless (series), Laid (series), Nikki Glaser: Someday You'll Die (comedy special), Carry On (movie), Magik #1 (comic) Plugs Mostly Nitpicking on Bluesky The Nando v Movies Discord Roses and Rejections Diggins' Substack - A Little Perspective All of Nando's Links Mostly Nitpicking theme by Nick Porcaro Logo by Michelle Chapman
Al Pacino created indelible memories for generations of moviegoers. But while he was writing his own memoir, Sonny Boy, Al kept coming back to mental scenes of his days in the South Bronx, running around the streets with friends, enjoying the small things in life. Al talks with Marc about his growth as an actor from the stage to the screen, his formative friendship with acting teacher Charlie Laughton, and his career realization that he can only perform in something he relates to. They also go deep into Al's performances in The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, and Scarface. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
