Wikipedia: wiki about the movie
Dog Day Afternoon is a 1975 drama film directed by Sidney Lumet, written by Frank Pierson and produced by Martin Bregman. The film stars Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning, Chris Sarandon, and Carol Kane. The title refers to the "dog days of summer".
The film was inspired by P.F. Kluge's article "The Boys in the Bank", which tells a similar story of the robbery of a Brooklyn bank by John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturile on August 22, 1972. This article was published in Life in 1972. The film received generally positive reviews upon its September 1975 release by Warner Bros. Pictures (now a sister company to Life), some of which referred to its anti-establishment tone. Dog Day Afternoon was nominated for several Academy Awards and Golden Globe awards, and won one Academy Award.

This isn't the last song, there's no violin, the choir is quiet, and no one takes a spin, this is the next to last song, and that's all...
Now we can comment each movie in its own place, so I'm starting.
Obviously, I enjoyed the movie. How could I not if there play Al Pacino? I haven't expected the movie's so funny. Best part for me was "I like being kissed when I'm fuc*ed" or sth like that.
There was sth strange thing in ending of movie. Right, they were criminals, but I expected them to escape. Dunno why, but I was really waiting for that. It might be because of mentioned stockholm syndrome, but I wasn't the one who they kidnapped so that's not the explanation ;)
