#DogDayAfternoon #AlPacino #FilmReaction
John Cazale appeared in five films during his career. All five were Oscar nominated for best picture.
One of my favorite Al Pacino movie. His movies from 1971-1975 are just amazing.
And scarface 1983
The actor who plays the police sergeant (Charles Durning) is a World War II hero: Bronze Star; Silver Star; three Purple Hearts.
If you want to see him in an entirely different role, singing and dancing, RUclips: “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas - Sidestep Scene.” I believe he was actually nominated for an Academy Award for that little part.
Which was sort of based on real people.
I worked in the banking industry for almost 20 years. Much of it involved branch operations, vault keeping, and audits. Dog Day Afternoon is one of my all-time favorite movies because (aside from the incredible performances) it's one of the most grounded heist movies ever. They fail almost _immediately._ I've written whole essays explaining to people how vaults work in real life, the logistics of a heist, and how movies rarely ever get them right. This one does. There are several more layers of security in real life, too. Aside from stopping the staff from hitting the alarm and using the bait money, Sonny basically did everything wrong. He didn't stake out the bank and learn the cash shipment schedule himself. They went in there without masks or gloves, and lingered around in plain sight for a few minutes. Sonny was too short to do anything about the cameras, but it didn't matter; they already had him on tape. Even if the 3rd guy hadn't bailed, they still wouldn't have had enough guys to do the job efficiently. Burning the traveler's check register was completely pointless; that's just for record keeping. They could've easily figured out which checks he stole. Even if he _had_ done everything right, there was no way they were getting out of there. Do you know how much a quarter million in 20s weighs? How much space it takes up? I do. I was in charge of ATM stocking for a year, and hauled that much at least twice a week. Stealing a vault's worth of cash is like trying to sneak away while you're lugging 5 or 6 hefty garbage bags full of books. Sonny's plan just wasn't going to happen.
As someone who has worked in the entertainment industry most of my life, I (but sadly not on this film,) I met the editor Dede Allen many years ago.) She has said that there never was supposed to be ANY music in this film at all. The opening credit song "Amoreena" by Elton John was just supposed to be a editing placeholder for the rough cut of the opening scene, but director Sidney Lumet really liked it and decided to keep it. Also when Sonny asks Sal where he'd like to go, anywhere in the world, Sal wasn't supposed to say anything at all. He improvised and said Wyoming. Director Lumet almost ruined the take because he started laughing. Al Pacino was able to stay in character and pull off his next line. And just a fun note... "Sheldon" was played by James Broderick, the father of Matthew "Ferris Bueller" Broderick. James had a part in another 70's classic "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" (not the stupid remake)
On using Amoreena, 1975 was the year Elton John made music history. His first 1975 album, 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy', was the first album to debut at #1 (his second album of the same year, 'Rock of the Westies', also debuted at #1). He was at the top of his career. Having Elton on the soundtrack was a smart move.
Another heist movie with New York in the 70’s. Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
My favorite heist movie is The Sting from about the same time as this, with Paul Newman and Robert Redford, the "hunks" back in the day. And you must watch the first two Godfathers...Pacino and John Cazale gave great performances in both.
Love the sting, Robert shaw, Paul Newman, Robert Redford amazing.
Remember in the Sopranos Season 3 episode "Fortunate Son" when Carmela sees the older psychiatrist who tells her tp leave Tony and that he wasn't charging her? He's the bank manager in Dog Day Afternoon.
Also, let us know if you recognized Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese) in this movie.
Sully Boyar is the actor's name who played the bank manager in DDA and the older psychiatrist in Sopranos. In fact, Sully is one of the many actors who appeared in both The Sopranos and The Rockford Files, since Sopranos creator David Chase was a writer/producer on Rockford during seasons three through six.
John Cazale grew up one town over from where I did and he went to the prom with my friend's older sister. How cool is that! 😎
Did you notice the similarity between Leon and Prince Humperdinck (from The Princess Bride)? Miracle Max's wife is in this movie too.
John Cazale absolutely 100% deserved to win an Oscar for this movie.
Thank you for reacting to a masterpiece of 70s American cinema. The two bankrobbers are co-stars in the first two Godfather films which you should definitely react to. Ther are three great filmmakers of New York City-- Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, and Sidney Lumet.
I thought Woody was way overrated even before we found out what a scumbag he is...Even so, I have two favorites of his (possibly because he doesn't appear in either). I don't know of any reactions to them, yet both Radio Days and Purple Rose of Cairo are wonderful films, full of nostalgia for simpler times and a real love for the movies in general.
1960s-1970s: the studio system has completely come apart. Instead of corporations making decisions about films, film-makers made the kind of movies they wanted to make. A gritty realism enters American film making where little had existed before. This movie is chaotic and unpredictable and on purpose. This is what you get when artists make films and corporations keep their sticky little fingers out of production. A movie like this is inconceivable now and we're worse off because of it. Great reaction, Ms Cristy.
The passion Pacino acts with in awesome. For personal the pizza delivery guy ( " I'm a fucking star !") steals the scene in this flick. Great reaction. Oh , you should research Attica Prison.
Hi Cristy, nice to see you!😊 Sadly the actor who played Sal (John Cazale) here died from lung cancer 3 years after this film. Yeah, New York style pizza is my favorite, Cristy. Al Pacino actually looked a lot like the real Sonny. Sonny only served 5 years in jail for this robbery. Great reactions to this real life bank robbery story, Cristy!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
Attica is a state prison in NY. In 1971, there was a riot of the prisoners protesting for better conditions. There was a standoff for 4 days in which over 40 prison workers were held hostage. Police stormed in on the 4th day and 43 people where killed - 33 inmates and 10 employees and guards. It marked a turning point for prisoner rights and cause a big negative reaction towards police in New York and elsewhere - part of the reason why the crowds we cheering for Sonny.
1. An old friend of mine was an Elton John fan (like me) at the time and told me this movie kicks off with "Amoreena" and I got to watch this movie and loved it. It's the only music in the movie.
2. A ton of well-deserved awards. (14)
3. I kind of felt sorry for Sal.
4. The FBI guy is played by James Brodrick. He played the dad in the 1970s TV show "Family".
5. The driver is played by Lance Hendriksen "The Terminator" and "Aliens"
6. You must check out "Scarface".
James Broderick was the father of Matthew Broderick ("Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Wargames").
I frickin' love "Amoreena". Is that not the greatest way to open up this movie? I get chills every time I hear it.
@@TTM9691 That song just kicks and is forever somber.
As director, Sidney Lumet definitely knocked it out of the park two years in a row. Dog Day Afternoon touched a fair bit on the media, but his next movie (Network) brought media madness to the forefront. It was made when people still had just a few channel choices, ubiquitous cable was a few years away, and ubiquitous internet another ~20 years away. However, even with its slight hyperbole, Network in some ways foresaw what was to come. Highly recommended as a companion piece to DDA, but most definitely on its own merits.
You keep churning out great reviews! Thanks again!
I first watched this movie on broadcast network TV when I was too young to understand the whole sex change concept or the Attica references so it was a bit confusing but still had a strong impact.
About Attica and the shooting of "the innocent and the guilty". It's mostly true. Attica is a prison in upstate New York infamous for a riot in 1971, a few years before the film is set. The prisoners, motivated by severe overcrowding and poor conditions, attacked the guards and took over the complex. The state police were called in and, in the process of retaking the prison, 29 prisoners and 10 guards were killed by the state police. Some of those killed were reportedly not resisting - the police dropped teargas into the prison courtyard and then fire shotguns blindly into the smoke. Others were reported in subsequent investigations to have been executed after surrendering. Sonny had good reason to not want to wind up in prison and Sal had good reason to not want to go back.
Also, I'm not positive, because there might have been other medications on the market, but I'm pretty sure the reason the guard with asthma doesn't have an inhaler is because albuterol, which is the most common medication used in inhalers, wasn't approved by the FDA until 1982.
Superb movie !!!! Pacino besides " Scarface & Godfather " also did : Sea Of Love - Serpico - Cruising - And Justice For All - Dick Tracy. And other greats.
Uncle Junior is the one who says "when you have a sucker for a mother"
Great reaction. Like the “Andale” quote 😉
did you see "Serpico?" These movies were back to back real life movies by Sidney Lumet. A master director.
Wow movies were so captivating back then.
Spike Lee's movie Insde Man pays homage to this movie in some small ways including one of the female hostages from Dog Day being in it. Excellent bank robbery movie who donit with a great cast. Highly recommend a reaction. BTW you are in the top tier of the reactors on YT . Really enjoyed this reaction and your Sopranos. Thank you for your channel 😊😊😊
I really enjoyed this!🥰"Sal" (john Cazalee) is great in "The Godfather" as well, He was a great actor. "Godfather" 1 and 2 are masterpieces, I hope you react to them!🙏😇
I grew-up in Queens. My mom was with the NYPD from 1961 to 1988. Oh the stories she told me.
There are 3 Sopranos actors here as far as I'm concerned. There might be more.
Great reaction, Christy. Very well made film.
If the guard had an asthma attack, he would not be lying down. You can’t breathe when you’re lying down. You must sit up.
As far as why he did not have an inhaler, it could be possible that he didn’t have an attack very often and didn’t feel he had the need to carry an inhaler with him
Possibly the best bank heist movie stars Ben Afleck and Jeremy Renner. It is called 'Town'.
Great movie. Thanks for reacting to it❤
Rest in peace John Cazale.
Very nice reaction - one of Pacino's most lauded 70s roles, along w Michael Corleone and Serpico - John Cazale was a roster of 70s classics; see all 5 of his films - you may also be interested in director Sidney Lumet, who worked a lot in theatre and then filmed modern classic plays like The Seagull and his astonishing Long Day's Journey Into Night, before moving to NYC based social critiques like this film, and especially his police dramas like Serpico, Prince of the City, etc - other famous films include 12 Angry Men, Network, The Verdict, Murder on the Orient Express - overall, he's regarded as one of the great NYC directors, like Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, and Woody Allen - esp famous for his social commentary and for drawing career-best performances from his actors
If you want to reach legendary reactor status. React to another Al Pacino classic wich also features a well known quote, watch And Justice for All. It's an awesome film but has been criminally under reacted to
I guess this is your first Sidney Lumet movie. He directed several excellent films, including 12 Angry Men (1957), The Pawnbroker (1964), Fail Safe (1964), Serpico (1973), Network (1976), The Verdict (1982), and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007).
John Cazale, who played Sal, was in only five movies. All had Oscar nominations for best picture, and three of them won. The winners were The Godfather (1972), The Godfather Part II (1974), and The Deer Hunter (1978), while The Conversation (1974) and Dog Day Afternoon were "merely" nominated. The Conversation is a favorite of mine - a great film that is often overlooked. And of course, you should watch The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, which are widely considered among the best movies ever made.
The Pawnbroker is such an overlooked masterpiece and important historically as the final straw that broke the back of the Hollywood production code...
@@flarrfan It's also the first American film to handle the Holocaust. MGM was supposed to release it, but they reneged at the last minute. So, American-International Pictures, a B-movie studio, released it.
My favorite movie ever.
A great movie
Yes, the incident at Attica was true.
Armored (2009) !
Going in Style (2017)
Heist (2015)
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
The Bank Job (2008) !
The Great Train Robbery (1978)
The Italian Job (1969 and 2003 remake) !
Wrath of Man/Cash Truck (2021)
Heat (1995) !
Awesome!❤
Yes, Cristy, you are supposed to be laughing. Dog Day Afternoon is a comedy - an *extremely* dark black comedy - but super funny. Until the end.
Imo the best heist movie if you're into the whole planning and execution is alain delon's 1963 film melodies en sous sol. All the ocean's films pale in comparison to that
Attica! Attica!
It's true about Attica.
Fantastic reaction!!!! Total classic. On recent rewatches, I would have trimmed that writing of the will speech, I feel it slows down the movie when you want to be speeding it up, that's the only thing I'd slightly change, so I'll agree with you on that. Hey, Lumet's NEXT movie is another super classic of the 70s/cinema, might even be better, "Network", a wild satire that is so pertinent to now, and it's a great movie. On the AFI top 100, I think Bryan Cranston did a Broadway version of it recently, incredible cast. ALSO: Both Pacino and John Cazale (who played Sal) are in The Godfather and Godfather Part 2; this is what they did the year after, and their characters in those movies are completely different. So......now you have a great "in" to The Godfather, both actors are superb in both. Definitely put "Network" on your list; I always think of these two movies together, Dog Day Afternoon, 1975 and Network, 1976. (Godfather is 72 and 74. And at the same time as those you got The Conversation, Chinatown, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Carnal Knowledge, etc etc :D. (Also....All That Jazz, from 1979! That's a great one! OH, and Bonnie And Clyde, and The Graduate, and Paper Moon. Oh man, you'd have much to say on every one of those! Scorsese's "After Hours", one of the great 80s NYC at night comedies. Or "The King Of Comedy", another Scorsese/De Niro classic, both of those are really dark comedies. Ok, sorry for all the titles, but that was a great reaction, and this movie always triggers a million other great titles. Definiteily "Network" though!
Sony = Al Pacino
Sal Naturily = John Cazale (1935 - 1978) 😢
great movie to react to :) havent seen anyone do this!!
I've seen one, Aria C reacted to it ad it was a cool reaction imo.😀
cool Ill check it out thanks!
PSA: Some people forget to click that LIKE button. If you liked it, do it.
Sopranos please
Coming later this week! Had to take a little break from recording due to work stuff, but I JUST recorded the season 3 finale. It's in editing now
@@CristyReacts I've watched a lot of Sopranos reactions, and you're the best!
She has done alot soprano episodes! Great reactions from christy ❤ 😊 undelee lol
Ironically, despite the heist, the story isn't about a heist. 🤔
Want a good heist movie? Try "The Thomas Crown Affair", "Heat", "The Italian Job", "Dead Presidents", or any of the "Oceans" movies you haven't seen yet.
Guessing Jorge edited this one. 😄
Ha! What gave it away?😝
Dig it*..Yes Godfather..Then maybe Carlitos Way...I appreciate you..Sincerely..Poppie,
Sonny was no Danny Ocean. lol
Waiting for Sopranos…:)
👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wyoming.
Que estas esperando bella, react to the first Two Godfathers 🙏 lol any reaction channel (assuming they havent seen it) should have The Godfather on their channel 😁
It's coming!
@@CristyReacts woohoo! 😁 Thank you 🙏
WHY DO YOU READ THE PLOT FIRST?? !!!!
I've never seen anyone giggle through this movie. It's unsettling.
not understanding humor must be hard for you 😔
@@CristyReacts I laughed my rear end off watching Schindler’s List.
@@joeholland2085My Lord, you are so wrong here. There are so many humorous moments in this movie. It's sad that you don't see them.
@@paulymar5996 Nothing I said suggested I didn't see and appreciate the DARK humor of the film. But it isn't a Monty Python movie. The humor is tragic if you're really watching the movie. I'm sorry you both don't have the depth to see that.
@@joeholland2085 Oh sorry, wasn't aware you were an official Humor Patrolman. My apologies officer! Please don't arrest me. Have a great rest of your day patrolling all of the videos on RUclips for humor violations!
Boo!!!
If you’re at the point where you’re sitting down and have the camera rolling,
then don’t continue to read a synopsis and trivia before you’ve even watched one frame of film!
I think you’re not understanding the point and appeal of first time blind reactions.
I thought the reaction was fine. Doesn't change my opinion that Christy is one of the best reactors out there.
I read the logline and was still very surprised by the movie as you can see in the reaction. Really not a big deal, and definitely doesn't warrant a comment this entitled and rude.
There have been a few films/documentaries centered on the 1971 Attica prison riot. “Against The Wall” (1994) is the movie I remember from when I was a kid.
