The Dog (The Movie)

A film about John Wojtowicz, the real-life bank robber whose story inspired Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon

[Fandor @Fandor]

3 years after John Wotjowicz attempted to knock over a bank to finance his lover's sex-reassignment surgery, Al Pacino portrayed him in DOG DAY AFTERNOON.

Filmed over 10 years, THE DOG (2013) is a larger-than-life doc portrait of a bisexual bank robber.

On August 22nd 1972, 48 years ago today, John Wojtowicz attempted to rob a Brooklyn bank to pay for his lover Ernest Aaron’s gender-reassignment surgery. So we thought this would be a good time to share the following: https://t.co/1Qvix40eRV

A headspinning truth-is-stranger-than-fiction-way-stranger documentary. If “The Dog” weren’t a real person, you’d have to make him up! Kudos to the documentarians for digging at the darkness beneath, and that eye-opening inside look at early gay rights activism.

"I'm the Banrobber! Fuck Al Pacino" - excellent quote from #TIFF13 doc THE DOG, http://t.co/rjVZks3R05
