"Lumet’s final film, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, was released in 2007, a half-century after he made his debut with the jury-room classic 12 Angry Men. In between, Lumet directed such films as The Pawnbroker, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Network and The Verdict, along the way applying his own training as an actor to handling such icons as Henry Fonda, Marlon Brando, Katharine Hepburn, William Holden, Al Pacino and Paul Newman. He earned four Oscar nominations for directing and one for screenwriting."

I was just thinking the other day how Sidney Lumet is one of very few directors who, of all the things I've seen by them, none of them were even remotely bad. Rest in peace, bud.
ReplyDeleteLumet's one of the last American directors who you could count of on quality - EVERY time!
