Sidney Lumet — died at 86 today
What a director!
He was one of the finest directors in the USA. He gave us 40 feature films (and more programs for TV, too).
I started with his his absolutely brilliant and wonderful first film,12 Angry Men — and then he kept me on my toes in Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, Stage Struck, and Network — each of which I have seen several times.
Lumet also made the powerful Fail-Safe, the cleverly directed Murder on the Orient Express, and - recently - Before the Devil Knows You Are Dead.
