there's a lot of humanity in this film...but I especially love when Maria gives Sal her rosary because he's nervous to fly.

These two calls that Sonny has, with Leon, his estranged wife, and Angie, also his estranged wife, they’re raw and intimate and true. Even though it sounds like they’re going separate ways, Sonny is tender with Leon. He can’t deal with Angie at all. #DogDayAfternoon #tcmparty

I can't remember the actress who plays Sonny's mom, but I'm pretty sure she's another great stage actress.
So good here.

The film was edited in only eight weeks to meet festival deadlines — lightning-fast for a movie with so much real-time overlapping dialogue.

both of these calls (first Leon, and now his wife) are acting master-classes by Pacino.

The crowd scenes were so large and so loud that the production used real NYPD officers to control them — many of whom remembered the actual 1972 event.

Sully Boyar (the bank manager) was also in the great 70s film CAR WASH (1976)

The real-life hostages bonded with their captors, and Lumet used their testimonies heavily when blocking scenes for emotional accuracy.

Enter Chris Sarandon...I think he has perhaps the best performance here.
I know Sarandon lets his nails grow out and plucked his brows in preparation for the role. He totally owns every scene he's in.

Wojtowicz sued Warner Bros. for using his story and was paid $7,500. He spent a meaningful chunk of it funding his lover’s gender-affirming surgery — the real-life motive behind the robbery.

The real bank robber, John Wojtowicz, saw the movie in prison and called Pacino’s performance “95% accurate.”

The film was shot sequentially — an extreme rarity then — to help the actors maintain emotional continuity.

Lumet lit the film to get progressively darker. As the robbery spirals out of control, the lighting subtly shifts to mimic the fading daylight and growing paranoia.

The film’s original writer, P.F. Kluge hated the final script because so much of his work was replaced by the contributions of Frank Pierson, actors, and Lumet’s improvisational approach.

Sonny and Moretti have 3 or 4 conversations in the street. Pay attention to the one after the cops try to break in the back door. Lumet told Durning to ad-lib dialog while they were shooting to confuse Pacino. What we get is overlapping dialog and realism.

this film does a nice job of touching on 'cult of personality' and anti-hero themes as the crowd falls in love with Sonny. And Sonny in turn "feeds the machine".
