Synopsis A born and bred New Yorker, Sidney Lumet is perhaps not as recognizable as other Big Apple auteurs Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese. Over the past few decades, though, he has quietly written and directed dozens of socially conscious, award-winning dramas, among them DOG DAY AFTERNOON, SERPICO, and RUNNING ON EMPTY. Frank Cunningham's comprehensive book analyses Lumet's scripts and completed films, delving into his childhood, artistic influences, and personal politics.
