Dog Day Afternoon

	Dog Day Afternoon
	by Warner Home Video Sales Rank: 22511 Price: $14.95

A gripping true crime yarn, a juicy slice of overheated New York atmosphere, and a splendid showcase for its young actors, <i>Dog Day Afternoon</i> is a minor classic of the 1970s. The opening montage of New York street life (set to Elton John's lazy "Amoreena") establishes the oppressive mood of a scorching afternoon in the city with such immediacy that you can almost smell the garbage baking in the sun and the water from the hydrants evaporating from the sizzling pavement. Al Pacino plays Sonny, who, along with his rather slow-witted accomplice Sal (John Cazale, familiar as Pacino's <i>Godfather</i> brother Fredo), holds hostages after a botched a bank robbery. Sonny finds himself transformed into a rebel celebrity when his standoff with police (including lead negotiator Charles Durning) is covered live on local television. The movie doesn't appear to be about anything in particular, but it really conveys the feel of wild and unpredictable events unfolding before your eyes, and the whole picture is so convincing and involving that you're glued to the screen. An Oscar winner for original screenplay, <i>Dog Day Afternoon</i> was also nominated for best picture, actor, supporting actor (Chris Sarandon, as a surprise figure from Sonny's past), editing, and director (Sidney Lumet of <i>Serpico</i>, <i>Prince of the City</i>, <i>The Verdict</i>, and <i>Running on Empty</i>). <i>--Jim Emerson</i> *Viewer Reviews* I was a running in diapers when this awesome movie played on "The Movie Channel". My older brothers were cheering with the crowd when I stopped running and made them laugh by cheering with the tv screen too!( as they tell me)Anywho....I searched AMAZAON and discovered this title and had to get it to recall what the excitement was about.I watched this movie with a friend my age who was very sheltered growing up and he was blown away by the realistic pace of the movie.The cool New York street scenes and the incredilbly superb acting of Pacino and Sarandon.This transfer is clean and fun to watch especially if you like true crime stories.
