Original US international poster
Unframed: 41 x 27 in. (104 x 69 cm)

This crime drama was directed by Sidney Lumet, and stars Al Pacino, John Cazale, James Broderick, and Charles Durning. It was inspired by a real-life bank robbery in the early 1970s. The robbery took place in order to fund a sex-change operation for his trans wife. The title of the film refers to the hottest days of summer - dog days. Pacino gives a great performance, and was nominated for an Oscar. The film is notable for having no musical score, with the exception of three diegetic/source songs.
