On Location: Dog Day Afternoon (1975) [Filming Locations] 

I was one of the "actor" policemen. You can see the back of my head briefly in the lower left of the frame @8:29. You bring back memories of that shoot, in the fall of 1974. Lumet was great, by treating all of the background actors with respect by actually telling us, atop a ladder with a bullhorn, what was happening in each scene involving us and what our motivation was!

To me, Dog day afternoon is absolutely unforgettable. At first it took me in an unprecedented rollercoaster of emotions all throughout. Then, as I got older, I was hypnotized by the mastery of screenwriting in display. Seeing where it all took place nearly 40 years ago is nothing short of magical for me. Thank you for doing this. This whole bunch of videos about this movie was like a huge treat! Keep up doing what you're doing, so long as you enjoy it!

Great job. One of my favorite 70s movie.

You did a great job. I really enjoyed this. I lived in Manhattan from 1974 - 1994. I saw several scenes shot for major motion pictures; Report to The Commissioner, Eyes Of Laura Mars, Taking Of Pehlam 123, Sea Of Love, and many TV shows. My first was Midnight Cowboy on 74th & Broadway - when I was 13 years old. Again - great job on this.

One of the greatest movies ever

This has become my new favorite channel. Thanks Ty, awesome work, keep em coming.

I'm a big fan of 'on location' scenes where movies were filmed. This is fantastic! You did a great job pointing out specific spots...and the Then & Now description. I personally look for fire hydrant, lamp poles, and building designs to point out spots. They rarely change throughout decades.

Join me in visiting the filming locations for Sidney Lumet’s Dog Day Afternoon. This was a really fascinating location to visit. A lot is different, but so much is the same. It is amazing to think that it was filmed almost exactly 40 years ago. #filminglocations #Lumet #Filmmaking #Brooklyn #DogDayAfternoon #OnLocation #TheMakingOf #analysis #directing #FilmSchool #Production ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BmGufTAqooA.html

Really nice work! I actually wanna see you revisit more of Pacino’s film location in NYC. Like donnie brasco, god father, panic in the needle park.

@Maggy Reb (for some reason there isn't a 'reply' button under your comment) I feel the same way! I must have seen it a hundred times over the years, but it wasn’t until I got into filmmaking that I realized how perfect the writing was. Visiting the location was such a treat, especially because I had been watching it over and over again while I was researching the first video. So, when I finally did the location video, it was really mind blowing to be in the spot where it all took place. I’m so happy you enjoyed these videos and it is really wonderful to share in the appreciation of this great film. Thanks so much for the comment and thanks for watching!

Ive see a lot of different movie location videos but you did a lot of research.for this video. Excellent!!

I love film locations. Everytime I travel I look for places where films were shot in. Amazing!

Hey Tyler! I was really drawn into your channel after watching your videos on the making of 2001, and I really respect the quality and insight your videos offer and all the effort you've put into them. I love movies and I'm thinking of making them one day, but it seems unlikely because right now I'm taking more of an 'academic' pathway (besides I live in Singapore and the industry here is weak; oh, and Hi from Singapore!) and me going to film school seems a pretty unlikely idea. That's why I was absolutely blown away when I stumbled into your videos because I was learning so much from them, and to think that you admire Akria too! Please, keep doing what you're doing and all the best!

One of my favorite films-well done, as always

Really fascinating and well explained. Thanks.

Top job mate! LOVE every minute this film.

Please make more if you can, love your vids

The building way in the back on the right 1:15 is the high school I went to (Bishop Ford CCHS). There are one or two pretty quick but clear shots of it in the movie. I've walked up and down that street passing right in front of the bank building while attending from 1982 - 86. Thanks for your great work Tyler and a fun revisit!

So awesome. I grew up so close to the location in Brooklyn. Great to see.

Fascinating, Tyler. Great work!

Another great video from you guys!

Love your videos Tyler. Keep up the great work.

Very interesting ! Great job with the facts. I enjoyed this video.

EXCELLENT work Cinema Tyler, compelling

This is so cool man, please keep making this videos.

The movie was filmed in the fall of 1974. That's why the weather during filming was rather chilly.

Thank you Chris Sarandon for identifying the location in which the filming took place.

love how people just casually drive by not knowing al pacino once stood there

Love the content man. Keep up the good work.

Great work man.

Great show! I''m watching in Flatbush, by the way.

Great stuff. Thanks so much.

Great Work!Pretty close analysis.well done

love the actual location shots!

excellent work I loved the info

Nice video. I used to live around the corner from here (much later than the filming of DDA.) Walk a few minutes on this street towards the F train and you'll also pass the major shooting locations from Smoke and As Good As It Gets.

DOPE vid! keep em comin:)

I went to the local high school there which is across the highway the prospect Expressway Bishop Ford High School I was in that crowd on the corner every day we went out there for lunch and when they did the part of Attica when Al Pacino was screaming Attica and everybody put their hands up in the air I was in that crowd screaming Attica we had to do that scene over at least five different times most of the kids in there had long hair rock and rollers it was an exciting time. That area at the time was Rundown most of those buildings were abandoned and in disrepair. My high school has since closed down it is no longer Bishop Ford high school and that area has regenerated into a very nice area that's the time of my life I would never forget everytime I see the movie I try to find myself in the crowd with the cameras pan to quickly it was a lot of fun

I really love the diversity of content on your channel! Is this going to become an ongoing series?

dear tyler, you're great, thanks a lot

Great info thanks

3 blocks away from me.

How cool would it be to have one of those apartments!

Awesome!!

I like the desolate look of the streets in the 70s version, it’s what cities looked like in the 70s when I was a kid.

I think there was an accountant early in the movie. He came from across the street to ask the bank manager if everything was okay in the bank. I wish you would have pointed out where his accounting office was located. Next to the barbershop?

September is mostly a Summer month 'til the 21st. even tho I can see how it could get cool, I'm surprised it's cold. Lumet is seen wearing a heavy jacket and ironically, indoors in Sept. w/ out A/C gets pretty uncomfortable. but that's probably all phony sweat .

excellent

Trivia: the real location is still a bank but not Chase (Santander.) The area changed a LOT since 1972.

YT won’t let me cut and past but I do have memorabilia from DDA. I believe it’s a sign from the movie that was used to make traffic or the local residents aware that filming would be taking place. Its made of aluminum or tin. Never seen anything like this before. A Dear friend of mine gave it to me for my bday! Sign says “WARNER BROS INC” “DOG DAY AFTERNOON” “285 PROSPECT PARK W”

John Cazale!

Why would you remove a fire escape? There used to be apartments on the upper floors, but not anymore?

Geez, how many times do you repeat your points??

Harvey Fierstein was 21 in 1975 not 15. His DOB is June 6th 1954

from "barbershop" to "smart hair studio" lol jeez

The actual bak robbery happened in Midwood Ave P and East 3rd Street across from my apartment.

On cinema at the cinema on location.

Elton John - Amoreena

for some reason u always thought it was on avenue p and east 3rd maybe thats where the real incedient happened

I wasn't there.

Attica Attica

They completely ruined that location by adding all those trees

America is awesome for classic movies...the only other country that equals it is Wyoming.....

Many Thanks for these 'Shows' you have taken the trouble to Format, but most of all thanks for the 'Tastes' you have Formed as a Focus for stuff that do not really feature in mainstream Art/creative 'TV/Cable' channel Programming at all now. Group Think might trend these Type of things but it probably 'Political Use' to show system 'Inclusion' & will be Whitewashed when they get Overall Consent in 'PR' Normality/s. All the Localities with 'Grit' in this Era are not 'Cartoon'/ 'Office/Lounge/Home' Clean Lifestyle Enough now.....it's like the Inside of a Personal Computer has to be why PC is being USED. A future of Robots from Humanity through 'Rebellion'?

It would help if you gave addresses.

Too many “and stuff like that’s” what you twelve years old cmon get with the program and stuff

1:42 if your so into film , why not practice on making better RU-vid videos , I mean my god , this shot is atrocious.
