I was one of the "actor" policemen. You can see the back of my head briefly in the lower left of the frame @8:29. You bring back memories of that shoot, in the fall of 1974. Lumet was great, by treating all of the background actors with respect by actually telling us, atop a ladder with a bullhorn, what was happening in each scene involving us and what our motivation was!
To me, Dog day afternoon is absolutely unforgettable. At first it took me in an unprecedented rollercoaster of emotions all throughout. Then, as I got older, I was hypnotized by the mastery of screenwriting in display. Seeing where it all took place nearly 40 years ago is nothing short of magical for me. Thank you for doing this. This whole bunch of videos about this movie was like a huge treat! Keep up doing what you're doing, so long as you enjoy it!
Me too, I love this film, the whole inside/outside set thing makes it look fantastic. I'm from the UK and my girlfriend lives in Brooklyn, so when I go over I like walking round to see these filming locations, she lives by Prospect Park and can see her building near the big red/white aerial from the helicopter shots!
You did a great job. I really enjoyed this. I lived in Manhattan from 1974 - 1994. I saw several scenes shot for major motion pictures; Report to The Commissioner, Eyes Of Laura Mars, Taking Of Pehlam 123, Sea Of Love, and many TV shows. My first was Midnight Cowboy on 74th & Broadway - when I was 13 years old. Again - great job on this.
I'm a big fan of 'on location' scenes where movies were filmed. This is fantastic! You did a great job pointing out specific spots...and the Then & Now description. I personally look for fire hydrant, lamp poles, and building designs to point out spots. They rarely change throughout decades.
I was there during filming almost every day. The crowd on both intersections were not paid! They were all locals including me that were more than glad to be there during filming. Lumet gave us cues and we had a ball!
@Maggy Reb (for some reason there isn't a 'reply' button under your comment) I feel the same way! I must have seen it a hundred times over the years, but it wasn’t until I got into filmmaking that I realized how perfect the writing was. Visiting the location was such a treat, especially because I had been watching it over and over again while I was researching the first video. So, when I finally did the location video, it was really mind blowing to be in the spot where it all took place. I’m so happy you enjoyed these videos and it is really wonderful to share in the appreciation of this great film. Thanks so much for the comment and thanks for watching!
The building way in the back on the right 1:15 is the high school I went to (Bishop Ford CCHS). There are one or two pretty quick but clear shots of it in the movie. I've walked up and down that street passing right in front of the bank building while attending from 1982 - 86. Thanks for your great work Tyler and a fun revisit!
Hey Tyler! I was really drawn into your channel after watching your videos on the making of 2001, and I really respect the quality and insight your videos offer and all the effort you've put into them. I love movies and I'm thinking of making them one day, but it seems unlikely because right now I'm taking more of an 'academic' pathway (besides I live in Singapore and the industry here is weak; oh, and Hi from Singapore!) and me going to film school seems a pretty unlikely idea. That's why I was absolutely blown away when I stumbled into your videos because I was learning so much from them, and to think that you admire Akria too! Please, keep doing what you're doing and all the best!
Keith@tidbithoughts Thanks for the comment! I appreciate your kind words. I went to film school and it was… okay. Perhaps it would have been better if I had gone to one of the big film schools. Everything I go over in my videos are things I’ve learned outside of film school. The best things about film school is the connections you make to the fellow students who are willing to work on projects for free and the faculty who can provide resources and opportunities. Film school certainly isn’t necessary especially when there are so many great films to analyze and so many resources online and in DVD special features. I am a believer that a good movie can be made from any subject matter and genre. That said, I am a big fan of sci-fi and Akira is a masterpiece. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!
I went to the local high school there which is across the highway the prospect Expressway Bishop Ford High School I was in that crowd on the corner every day we went out there for lunch and when they did the part of Attica when Al Pacino was screaming Attica and everybody put their hands up in the air I was in that crowd screaming Attica we had to do that scene over at least five different times most of the kids in there had long hair rock and rollers it was an exciting time. That area at the time was Rundown most of those buildings were abandoned and in disrepair. My high school has since closed down it is no longer Bishop Ford high school and that area has regenerated into a very nice area that's the time of my life I would never forget everytime I see the movie I try to find myself in the crowd with the cameras pan to quickly it was a lot of fun
Nice video. I used to live around the corner from here (much later than the filming of DDA.) Walk a few minutes on this street towards the F train and you'll also pass the major shooting locations from Smoke and As Good As It Gets.
I think there was an accountant early in the movie. He came from across the street to ask the bank manager if everything was okay in the bank. I wish you would have pointed out where his accounting office was located. Next to the barbershop?
Thanks! I'm going to try and do a location video to go along with every 'What I Learned From Watching' episode for a movie that takes place in NYC. Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
YT won’t let me cut and past but I do have memorabilia from DDA. I believe it’s a sign from the movie that was used to make traffic or the local residents aware that filming would be taking place. Its made of aluminum or tin. Never seen anything like this before. A Dear friend of mine gave it to me for my bday! Sign says “WARNER BROS INC” “DOG DAY AFTERNOON” “285 PROSPECT PARK W”
September is mostly a Summer month 'til the 21st. even tho I can see how it could get cool, I'm surprised it's cold. Lumet is seen wearing a heavy jacket and ironically, indoors in Sept. w/ out A/C gets pretty uncomfortable. but that's probably all phony sweat .
Join me in visiting the filming locations for Sidney Lumet’s Dog Day Afternoon. This was a really fascinating location to visit. A lot is different, but so much is the same. It is amazing to think that it was filmed almost exactly 40 years ago. #filminglocations #Lumet #Filmmaking #Brooklyn #DogDayAfternoon #OnLocation #TheMakingOf #analysis #directing #FilmSchool #Production th-cam.com/video/BmGufTAqooA/w-d-xo.html

Many Thanks for these 'Shows' you have taken the trouble to Format, but most of all thanks for the 'Tastes' you have Formed as a Focus for stuff that do not really feature in mainstream Art/creative 'TV/Cable' channel Programming at all now.

One of the greatest movies ever

Really nice work! I actually wanna see you revisit more of Pacino’s film location in NYC. Like donnie brasco, god father, panic in the needle park.
I was there during filming almost every day. The crowd on both intersections were not paid! They were all locals including me that were more than glad to be there during filming. Lumet gave us cues and we had a ball!

I love film locations. Everytime I travel I look for places where films were shot in. Amazing!
Really fascinating and well explained. Thanks.
Ive see a lot of different movie location videos but you did a lot of research.for this video. Excellent!!
The movie was filmed in the fall of 1974. That's why the weather during filming was rather chilly.
It's crazy how they were able to make it seem so hot. Movie magic, I guess!
Thank you Chris Sarandon for identifying the location in which the filming took place.
Please make more if you can, love your vids
Thanks! More is on the way!
So awesome. I grew up so close to the location in Brooklyn. Great to see.
love how people just casually drive by not knowing al pacino once stood there
I went to the local high school there which is across the highway the prospect Expressway Bishop Ford High School I was in that crowd on the corner every day we went out there for lunch and when they did the part of Attica when Al Pacino was screaming Attica and everybody put their hands up in the air I was in that crowd screaming Attica we had to do that scene over at least five different times most of the kids in there had long hair rock and rollers it was an exciting time.

That's so cool! It seemed like a really fun shoot for the crowd.
3 blocks away from me.
One of my favorite films-well done, as always
Great show! I''m watching in Flatbush, by the way.
EXCELLENT work Cinema Tyler, compelling
+George Windsor Thank you!
How cool would it be to have one of those apartments!
Fascinating, Tyler. Great work!
Thank you!
Top job mate! LOVE every minute this film.
Another great video from you guys!

axlosauro Thanks! More is on the way!
I like the desolate look of the streets in the 70s version, it’s what cities looked like in the 70s when I was a kid.
Great stuff. Thanks so much.

excellent work I loved the info

ONE OF A KIND FILM.
Great info thanks
Geez, how many times do you repeat your points??
Trivia: the real location is still a bank but not Chase (Santander.) The area changed a LOT since 1972.
love the actual location shots!
Harvey Fierstein was 21 in 1975 not 15. His DOB is June 6th 1954
Awesome!!
Why would you remove a fire escape?
There used to be apartments on the upper floors, but not anymore?
DOPE vid! keep em comin:)

The actual bak robbery happened in Midwood Ave P and East 3rd Street across from my apartment.
On cinema at the cinema on location.
It would help if you gave addresses.
Attica Attica
I wasn't there.
for some reason u always thought it was on avenue p and east 3rd maybe thats where the real incedient happened
Yeah, that's the location of the real Chase Manhattan Bank that was held up on August 22, 1972.
They completely ruined that location by adding all those trees
it's sad how cool New York looked in the 1970s and now it just doesn't feel as badass
@@HashishUno The problem was that 1970s New York was a little too bad ass. As much as that era is romanticized in film, it was not a good time. The city was bankrupt, buildings were abandoned, and crime skyrocketed.

Too many “and stuff like that’s” what you twelve years old cmon get with the program and stuff
1:42 if your so into film , why not practice on making better TH-cam videos , I mean my god , this shot is atrocious.
