Description

Back to the Bloor: Enjoy classic Bloor films and cult favourites with this retro series.

On a hot Brooklyn afternoon, two optimistic nobodies set out to rob a bank. Sonny (Al Pacino) is the mastermind, Sal (John Cazale) is the follower and disaster is the result. The cops, crowds, TV cameras and even the pizza man have arrived. Pacino and director Sidney Lumet reteam for this boisterous comedy thriller that earned six Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture) and won an Oscar for Frank Pierson’s streetwise screenplay.

See Dog Day Afternoon with The Dog on Saturday, August 16, and save! Catch both films for only $17 ($12 for Bloor members). BUY DOUBLE BILL
