Lumet and Pacino at their best

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2001)

Lumet and Pacino achieve a moving, believable portrait of a gay (or bisexual) man--in a mainstream 1975 film! What an achievement. No one films the streets of New York better than Lumet--and that includes Scorsese and Lee. John Cazale is both funny and heartbreaking. One of my favorite films, and I've seen thousands.
