About Sidney Lumet

12 Angry Men opened in 1957 with jury sweat, Pawnbroker in 1964 with Holocaust shop, and Fail Safe in 1964 with bomber alarm. Serpico followed in 1973 with cop graft, Orient Express in 1974 with Poirot train, and Dog Day in 1975 with bank heat.

Network arrived in 1976 with mad prophets, Prince of City in 1981, Verdict in 1982 with Newman trial, Running on Empty in 1988, and Devil Knows in 2007 with family heist. Lumet died April 2011. Watch in release order for the New York procedural habit with long rehearsals.

Good to know

These are standalone city stories with no shared continuity, so there is no chronological order to untangle. Release order shows the live TV blocking move into location grit. Network is the hinge satire to watch after Dog Day sweat with Chayefsky. Devil Knows in 2007 is the final feature with no upcoming.
