“Sidney Lumet came up to me during the filming of this and he said, ‘Al, it’s out of our hands, buddy.’ And that’s the feeling that I had with it. It took on its own life.”
— Al Pacino on DOG DAY AFTERNOON (1975)

Happy 83rd birthday to Alfredo James Pacino, the iconic Oscar / Tony / BAFTA /Emmy-winning American film, stage and television actor, director, producer and screenwriter, born in New York #OnThisDay. Among the many highlights: as Michael in #TheGodfather trilogy (1972-90), Sonny Wortzik in #DogDayAfternoon (1975), as fracturing undercover N.Y.C. cops in Lumet's #Sepico (1973), Friedkin's #Cruising (1980),...

I was just reading that Henricksen had a truly horrific childhood. Violence, abuse, foster care. God bless him. #DogDayAfternoon #TCMParty
Lance Henriksen as the driver with ice in his veins. Lance has been part of every important paranoid, conspiracy movie and show of the last 50 years. Coincidence? Maybe. #DogDayAfternoon #TCMParty
Turned on #DogDayAfternoon in time to hear demonstrators chanting “Out of the closet & into the streets!” and “Sonny all the way!” and I had forgotten this amazing moment in this wonderful film. And then, Sonny has to deal with his mother. Life’s rich pageant. #TCMParty
As a manager, I have complete empathy for Sonny in this situation #TCMparty #dogdayafternoon
King: Al Pacino is on the TV.
Me: what is he doing?
King: robbing a bank.
Me: ah.
#dogdayafternoon
look at what’s in #DogDayAfternoon—bank robbery, hostages, Viet Nam vets, homosexual and transgender characters, aggressive minicam reporters, obscene phone callers, police racism, and we’re only one hour into the movie. The movie is a distillation of American life. #TCMParty
Penelope Allen as head bank teller Sylvia “Mouth” is the sort of character you live for in a movie like #DogDayAfternoon #TCMParty
The overeager cops treating the terrified, asthmatic African American security guard as a perp when he’s a released hostage is one of the many insightful moments in #DogDayAfternoon #TCMParty
“Stevie, don’t take the car!”
“Well, how’m I gonna get home?”
“Take the subway, we need the car!”
“Stevie, gimme the keys.”
If I were in a bank heist.

I could watch the opening credits of #DogDayAfternoon on loop. New York City in the mid 1970s. Humanity in all our multitudes. #TCMParty
