Director: Sidney Lumet

Won 1 Oscar



A classic film from the 70's and on of my fav Pacio films..

Outstanding film, takes a lot of chances that would be unlikely today (at least in a studio film with an A-lister starring).

On a side note, is there such a thing as a film with John Cazale that is not worth seeing?

Damn good movie.

Yes it was. One of my favorite Pacino movies.
