[@michaelceraso1977]

yea COBY John Cazale was the Boy friend of M STreep BUT they never got married, at 42 he lost his battle with cancer in march 1978 after being in 5 great films, DEER HUNTER is one that should be seen by more Y tubers.

So is "criminal content" a channel for reactors who love criminals and cry when they get arrested after terrorizing their victims? Normally people who watch this type of content believe in justice. Maybe have Coby stick to scifi or romcoms in the future?

John Cazale (RIP) was only in Five movies--but every single one was a masterpiece and all were nominated for Best Picture!!!

[@mohammedashian8094]

If you want to know just how much of a great director Sidney lumet was thanks to his usual weeks of rehearsals (3 in dog day afternoon’s case) and preparation in which he blocks and stages the entire movie before production even begins he finished shooting in just 32 days and a couple of weeks ahead of schedule and I think maybe 60% of the movie being improvised which he was initially unsure about but after saying what the hell and seeing the results he loved it and I’ll try to mention the improvised scenes as much as I can: -when sonny pulls the rifle out of the box Al Pacino was actually struggling to get the string off the rifle which added realism to sonny’s amateur nature as a bank robber -when Sal says Wyoming as a country he wants to go to Pacino wasn’t expecting it and neither was lumet who had to cover his mouth from laughing -the Attica line was suggested to Pacino by a crew member (the Attica prison riot happened a year before the actual robbery happened which was 1972 so it was still in people’s minds) and the crowd responded exactly how a real crowd would respond if it was yelled in real life - the yelling between sonny and moretti was improvised when Sidney lumet told Charles durning who plays moretti when Pacino walks out the door blast him put him on the defence and he left imperfections when he would stutter to show how chaotic it is -the phone conversation between Leon and sonny was improvised by Al Pacino and Chris Sarandon -(not exactly an improv result but still) the hostages were played by theater actors that Pacino worked with and know especially a bank teller named Sylvia was played by an actress named Penny Allen who knew Pacino the best because she took him in when he had nothing until he was in his 20s and they were told by lumet to wear their own clothes and use as much of themselves in the characters as possible because he wanted them to come across as real people rather than just characters -when sonny looks at Sal after the phone call with Leon he actually was looking at Sidney lumet who told him that they’re gonna have to do it again and Pacino looked like he was gonna kill him -the part where sonny’s mom comes to the bank Sidney told her to stick to the script even if it didn’t make sense and Pacino was improvising to show how dysfunctional their relationship is -the opening scene wasn’t planned Sidney just went around in a station wagon with a camera and the only scene to have music -before the shot in the car after Sidney told everyone to get out as soon as Lance henriksen (the agent who fired the shot) penny allen said that she won’t do that because at this point she cares about Pacino even more after all the time they spent shooting so Sidney told the extras playing the cops to pull her out as soon as the shot is fired because she was adamant that she won’t leave him And I think that’s what I can remember kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZTWZ2Snesh-ac0 here’s a video analysis of the movie which showcases the points that I’ve made

[@Arnould84]

John Cazale died prematurely in March 1978 at the age of 43, he was engaged to the then young and novice actress Maryl Streep just 28 years old at the time.

[@Jessica_Roth]

One actor you may not quite recognize is the guy playing Agent Sheldon. That's James Broderick, the father of Matthew. They never got a chance to act together, because James died of cancer in 1982, just before Matthew made his film debut. Lumet (and the casting director) do such a great job of going from Charles Durning (an *extremely* expressive actor) as Detective Moretti to Broderick being a complete Sphinx as Sheldon. It's almost literally as different as night and day, given that Sheldon assumes command after the sun goes down.

[@richardwhite3041]

Coby, Another real life fact about this movie and cast. The actor (Charles Durning) that played Detective Moretti was a survivor of the Malmedy Massacre during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII.

[@shainewhite2781]

Based on a true story! One of the greatest movies ever made! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! The Attica Prison Riot Happened in 1971, where 43 men, 33 inmates and 10 Correctional Officers and employees, wre killed during the rioting. The riot was started due to poor treatment of prisoners in facility.

[@shredd5705]

Too bad the real story is nothing like it... around 30% is true. According to the real bank robber it was based on, John Wojtowicz

[@BlueShadow777]

“One of the greatest movies ever made!” 👏🏻🤣 Come on!

[@briangregory6303]

In case anyone remembers why John Travolta said Attica in Saturday Night Fever.

[@socalpaul487]

I highly recommend "3 Days of the Condor" 1975. Robert Redford & Faye Dunaway.

[@criminalcontent]

[@howardmann8689]

3 days of the condor is true. So is hot and run Iraqi dinar

3 Days of Condor is not true story.

[@mainmac]

This was the third bank they tried to rob. First one they dropped a shotgun and it went off, before they fled. Second one Bobby recognized a friend of his mother's, so they withdrew. Also coincidentally, the note they gave the teller read in part "This is an offer you can't refuse", from The Godfather (with Al Pacino of course), which they watched together before the bank robbery.

[@walterpanovs]

Love your emotional response to this. Always a pleasure to get your fresh reaction to an older film. The great New York director Sidney Lumet's previous film with Al Pacino WAS indeed a true-life cop film, "Serpico" (1973), about a young and very hip New York policeman who refused to be corrupted by the job and faced severe consequences from his crooked fellow cops. Great film very much of its time featuring a classic Pacino performance (and look).

[@light9999]

I love the Charles Durning performance. He deserves big credit for this and most everything else he did that I've seen, he was always excellent.

[@nealrepetti2396]

In 1972 I was 14 and I remember this like it was yesterday . I'm also a New Yorker. This was wild . Al and John Cazale are FANTASTIC!

[@lanolinlight]

The black security guard almost getting shot by the cops was a great way to describe the social climate in NYC that made the crowd cheer when Sonny shouted "Attica!"

[@criminalcontent]

that was such a crazy scene

[@DEWwords]

@@criminalcontent , ANY hostage in that kind of situation is going to be detained right away until they can make sure they're legit and not a criminal trying to sneak out among the kidnapped.

[@robovike]

Both Carol Kane (the teller you recognized in the beginning) and Chris Sarandon (the boyfriend) were both in The Princess Bride. A couple of references made to this film in Spike Lee's Inside Man--also a bank robbery film--and I think one of the civilians in that film had an easter egg cameo in Spike's movie.

[@longago-igo]

An Al Pacino/Gene Hackman movie that doesn’t get noticed enough is Scarecrow (1973). It’s a buddy/road picture/character study, which Hackman has said is his favorite performance. Also from 1973 is Hal Ashby’s The Last Detail with Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid, who were both nominated for Oscars, as was the Screenplay.

[@JWell-nk3nz]

As a very big De Niro and Pacino fan i watch a lot of reactions videos of their films lately. Maybe because I showed my girlfriend nearly every film of them and I got nobody with whom i can discover my fav films anymore 🙈. And I must say your reactions to these films are very delightful and beautiful because you immediately understand these movies, the characters and the inner meanings of these films. Such a joy to watch. I hope to see much more reactions to some hidden gems of these legendary actors. If you didn't see them already I would recommend to you these films: De Niro: Awakenings, Midnight run, Everybodys fine, Seepers, City by the night, Angel heart, This boys life, Falling in love, Stanley and iris and The Score. Pacino: Insomnia, Serpico, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Insider, Donnie Brasco, Scarecrow, And Justice for all, the panic in the needle Park... I guarantee that you will enjoy all or them. 😊 All the best for you! And thanks for your videos.

You're so sweet. I appreciate your empathy in your responses.

[@erikdolnack846]

I absolutely love Dog Day Afternoon! There are so many long stretches of film in this movie where the actors had to memorize pages and pages of lines. The actors make it seem easy, but they make it all seem so natural and real. It really feels like you're really there, experiencing a bank robbery.

[@criminalcontent]

it's so good !

[@brom00]

I've forgotten that Chris Sarandon plays Sonny's partner. He's also great in The Princess Bride and the original Fright Night.

This is quickly becoming the best way to see a movie. Coby is so naturally good at expressing her train of thought about what is happening and what might be likely to happen as the movies she is watching progress. It's also funny having them watch older movies. I'm 56. The 1970's were...different. It's also probably a more realistic version of a bank heist. Nobody, the cops or the robbers, seems to have a firm grasp of what they're supposed to be doing.

[@vincentsaia6545]

The version of A STAR IS BORN you saw starring Kris Kristoffersen and Barbra Streisand was actually the third version. The two previous versions were in 1954 starring Judy Garland and James Mason and the 1930s version starring Fredric March and Jeannette Gaynor.

The opening song was only a placeholder for editor Dede Allen. Director Sidney Lumet liked it so much he kept it. There is not one second of music otherwise in the entire film.

[@criminalcontent]

that's what makes this a great film, but alas... not many views on it, unfortunately

[@Jessica_Roth]

"Amoreena" gets a little mockery for the "and when it rains, the rain comes down" lyric, but I think it's one of the Bernie Taupin/Elton John classics of this period, doing such a great job of creating a sense of place. Right up there with 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters".

[@m06een00]

The '70s & '80s was a golden era for American films. I'm a big fan of Sidney Lumet. He did another one with Pacino 2 years earlier called 'Serpico', also a true story about police corruption. Well worth watching IMO..

The Cop drama THAT YOU'RE THINKING OF WITH AL Pacino IS "Serpico" This was a time when the cops weren't very popular, they're very associated with the tough crackdown on protesters and the shooting of a student at Kent State. Attica was a prison riot where the guards shot protesting prisoners. There were some very serious movies in the 70s.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

What a great film. I only came across this recently myself. Young Pacino (and De Nero for that matter) are a different beast. His energy leaps off the screen.

[@mohammedashian8094]

If you’re thinking that it must have been difficult to film in one location with all those cars and people around the bank it’s actually quite the opposite Sidney lumet who was known for his efficiency had in fact worked out everything in advance so by the time production started they were less likely to face problems and if they did have problems they know how to solve them that’s how good he was

[@martianmanhunter37]

After Sonny calls the limo driver a cop and tells him to go away, there's a shot of him in a new outfit next to agent Sheldon. This confirms that he was a plant, though he probably knew about the hidden gun so nothing would have changed.

[@ManvasPachenko]

I love the gritty and grainy movies of the 1970s set in New York. Movies like The French Connection, Marathon Man and of course Dog Day Afternoon. *"ATICA! ATICA! ATICA! ATICA!"*

[@jrneal1220]

Sidney Lumet not only knocked it out of the park with this film, but also "Network" just a year later... The media were part of the chaos in DDA, but they would become the primary focus of "Network." A number of critics have described Lumet's next movie as being ahead of its time, foreseeing in some ways the advent of the 24-hour news cycle (which would begin with CNN a few years later), and even in some ways what we've seen emerge in more recent times with the social media world. "Network" may not portray overt criminality. But it definitely portrays the sleazy elements of media. Anything for ratings and revenues...

[@criminalcontent]

trust us, we have debated and built out the brand enough to know that network will be here (and very soon) not many will watch it unfortunately… but by by hell or high water it will arrive here - it’s so ahead of it’s time it’s scary

Well, looks like others have already cued you in on John Cazale. They made a documentary about him 15ish years ago, called "I Knew It Was You", I think. Basically he was an amazing actor that unfortunately died very young, and Meryl Streep was his partner, who stood by him until the very end, kind of thing.

Another movie, talking about the 70s is The Getaway with Steve McQueen, that would be good too, it's by director Sam Peckinpah, who also directed The Wild Bunch, one of the bloodiest and most violent westerns of the 60s. Peckinpah inspired John Woo in his style of filming, Peckinpah used a lot of slow motion in the action scenes which later became a hallmark of Woo's films.

@@isabelsilva62023 don't think he meant they were both directed by SL - but we will do both, and coby has not seen either of them!

[@isabelsilva62023]

@@criminalcontent I think you guys will love them "French Connection" it's rather gritty but it is a timeless masterpiece. Yes, he probably was just adding the name there, Sidney Lumet's first movie was "12 Angry Men" and William Friedkin was the director of "The Exorcist". Also like other people have already mentioned here "Serpico" is a must.

[@TRK-up2zw]

@@isabelsilva62023 Gotcha, I corrected that. Yes, "Serpico" is a great Pacino movie too.

The Original A Star Is Born was made in 1937 and has been remade three different times.

[@davidmckie7128]

That was about an actress. Then there are versions from 1954, 1976 and 2018 about singers. Maybe you should watch them all Coby.

[@pfury67]

Pacino smoked 3-4 packs a day, and he decided to quit to preserve whatever voice he had left a few decades ago.

[@littleghostfilms3012]

The actor who played the FBI guy is the father of Matthew Broderick.

[@criminalcontent]

whoa did not know that !!

[@realBkay]

Pacino, a cop, SERPICO, yeah that’s a goodin’.

[@peperino25]

_i recommend you :_ 🔥 *The Devil's Advocate* (1997) 🔥 _Keanu Reeves , _*_Al Pacino_*_ & Charlize Theron_ Directed by Taylor Hackford

[@rickjend6667]

Double Indemnity is a must watch for this channel.

[@criminalcontent]

sure is

[@chicagoartistjon_3000]

Yup. Cop drama = Serpico. Also a great film based on a true story.

[@acecombatter6620]

Two of the actors in this movie were later in The Princess Bride. Do you recognise them? Two others were in The Godfather.

[@DEWwords]

The lead FBI guy is Matthew Broderick's father.

[@OSVS_Mike]

When Sony asked Sal what country he wanted to go to, Sal wasn't supposed to say anything. improvising "Wyoming" almost blew the take because director Lumet started laughing.

[@qthelost]

I watched a video about the real incident. I love how the movie recreated so many of the real images and real footage. Like John Wojtowicz (the name of the real bank robber) out front of the bank in a white t-shirt yelling at the cops.

[@luciolamonica]

for more Sidney Lumet and Al Pacino in another true story, check out Serpico (1973)

[@criminalcontent]

absolutely

[@guitarman8462]

If you haven't seen " Empire Of The Sun " by Spielberg , it's also a must see.

[@criminalcontent]

young bale yes before she watches American psycho and Batman begins

[@OSVS_Mike]

FBI Sheldon is played by James Broderick. If the last name sounds familiar, it should. He's the father of Matthew "Ferris Bueller" Broderick. James was in another classic 70's film - The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (1974,) with Robert (Quint "Jaws") Shaw and Walter Matthau and Jerry Stiller.

John Cazale is from Revere, Ma and went to the prom with my buddy's sister many moons ago... 😊
