If you want an insight into the always permeable boundaries between fact and fiction and where we choose to plant our conceptual flag then you could worse than watch this excellent documentary on the real life events behind the Dog Day Afternoon film and the later 2013 documentary on bankrobber John Wojtowicz called unsurprisingly ‘The Dog’.
The film-maker does an excellent job showing a more violent and negative side to John that I think he hid in the 2013 documentary and showing the parallels with his behaviour while robbing the bank in 1972, some 35 years later.
The interviews with legendary director Sidney Lumet and the scriptwriter Frank Pierson are fascinating and couple this with the interviews with John’s ex-wife and the law enforcement personnel and this could have easily been a 90/120 minute documentary.
