In Memory: Sidney Lumet

As a truely gifted director, Sidney Lumet wanted to question the ideas of others:


...he wanted to see why we were mad as hell:


...and he wanted to know what we do out of desparation:


Through his directing, Lumet could pull convincing performances from his actors.  Sidney Lumet worked with some of the best because he was one of the best.

  1. Joel,
    I really liked your tribute to Sidney Lumet. He directed several great movies. Great job on the comedies as well. Keep up the good work. BTW, the evil google has relented. Your blog can now be found using the google machine.
