Director Sidney Lumet, 86 Director Sidney Lumet, whose gritty dra- mas and thrillers influenced generations of filmmakers, died April 9 at age 86. Lumet was known for bringing out strong performances; Paul Newman, who received a best actor Oscar nomination for The Verdict, once said that Lumet "had an incred- ible eye for the truth." Sidney Lumet Lumet's 40 films included 12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, Network, Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge, Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night and The Fugitive Kind with Marlon Brando. Lumet, a child of the Yiddish theater, also dealt sympathetically, but never sentimentally, with Jewish New York in The Pawnbroker, starring Rod Steiger as a Holocaust survivor living in a black neighborhood, and Bye Bye Braverman, about a group of Jewish intellectuals getting lost while driving to a friend's funeral on Long Island.
