According to" The Encyclopedia of Hollywood" Lumet was one of the most prolific filmmakers of the modern era, directing more than one movie a year on average since his directorial debut in 1957.
Turner Classic Movies notes his" strong direction of actorsvigorous storytelling" and the" social realism" in his best work.
Film critic Roger Ebert described him as" one of the finest craftsmen and warmest humanitarians among all film directors."

A member of the maiden cohort of New York's Actors Studio, Lumet began his directorial career in Off- Broadway productions, then became a highly efficient TV director.
His first movie," 12 Angry Men"( 1957), was a courtroom drama centered on a tense jury deliberation.
