Dog Day Afternoon-inspired documentary The Dog to be adapted as a TV series
-
Directed by Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren, The Dog tells the extraordinary back-story of the late John Wojtowicz, the bank robber who inspired Al Pacino’s character in Sidney Lumet’s 1975 classic Dog Day Afternoon. The Dog offers a more complicated portrait of Wojtowicz, artfully chronicling his multiples lives as a Catholic mama’s boy, a once closeted bisexual who loved his wife Carmen and their two kids, an unlikely gay activist, a decorated Vietnam vet, a Goldwater Republican, a philanderer and convict.
