Today we discuss the biographical neo-noir crime drama Dog Day Afternoon, directed by Sidney Lumet starring Al Pacino. This film was up against One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which we covered in a previous episode (https://anchor.fm/htbn/episodes/Episode-3-One-Flew-Over-the-Cuckoos-Nest-1975-eghr7e). After seeing both films, we can all agree that this film held our attention more, had more grounded and truthful performances, and overall feels like the superior film, despite Cuckoo's Nest's sweep.
