Dog Day Afternoon (1975). Directed by Sidney Lumet; written by Frank Pierson; starring Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning, Penelope Allen, and Carol Kane.
I just love this scene, the film is good but this scene just takes it to a new level.
To think what John Cazale's career would have been if he hadn't have tragically died young? This man was in the Godfathers, Deer Hunter and The Conversation! That's like the greatest resume ever.

We were certainly robbed of a great talent.
Hear hear, Ibetolis. His work in pretty much everything was overshadowed by the leads, too. One of those ever-underappreciated supporting players.
ReplyDeleteMan, didn't Pacino used to have something special?
"Kiss me, man. When I'm being fucked I like to get kissed on the mouth."

GOD DAMN, WASN'T AL THE LIVING END?????
He's SO intense. Absolutely riveting... and gorgeous.
Still think he should have won the Oscar for that.
I would've voted for him....
Yeah it's pretty intense scene, Miranda. Probably not safe for for work with the volume up...
ReplyDeleteSo he lost to Nicholson for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Tough call!
Just showed this to a couple of my friends. They had never seen it before so we watched that and Marathon Man, an excellent double-feature.
ReplyDeleteNice, Scott - I hadn't seen it until about 2000...and I still haven't seen MM...
