As a director, Sidney Lumet cut his teeth in live television during the 1950s, and moved up to the big screen with the screen adaptation of the TV play Twelve Angry Men. Since then, Lumet's lean, no-nonsense style and coolly intelligent New York attitude has helped him craft a number of classic motion pictures, including Network, Dog Day Afternoon, The Verdict, Serpico, and Fail-Safe. The Directors: Sidney Lumet is a documentary which offers an in-depth look at Lumet's career in filmmaking; along with an interview with Lumet and clips from his films, this documentary includes contributions from a number of the actors who worked with him, including Jack Lemmon, Ossie Davis, Christopher Walken, Melanie Griffith, Dyan Cannon, and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide.

Video: Doctors' Wives

Video Detective — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 07:49:17 +0000

Among a cliquish set of country club doctors and surgeons, it seems that sleeping around is the norm. Early in the film, however, one husband murders his promiscuous wife (Dyan Cannon) while she is in bed with a rather unlikely adulterer. The various alliances and rivalries in this close-knit community are further stressed as the murderous husband uses his knowledge of the community for a wide-ranging blackmail scheme. While the police investigate, the doctors who do open-heart surgery on their patients experience heart-rending situations themselves. The film has a large and distinguished cast of actors, including Richard Crenna, Dyan Cannon, Caroll O'Conner, Ralph Bellamy, Gene Hackman, John Colicos, Diana Sands and Janice Rule. The story is based on Doctors' Wives by Frank G. Slaughter. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide.

Actress Dyan Cannon, whose 1976 directorial debut Number One was nominated for a best short subject Academy Award, moves on to feature-length projects with The End of Innocence. In addition to directing, Ms. Cannon wrote the screenplay and played a leading role in this story of a young girl spiritually torn apart by forces beyond her control. Rebecca Schaeffer plays Stephanie Lewis, unwanted and ignored by her eternally squabbling parents. Mom and Dad do further damage to Stephanie's battered psyche by giving her mixed messages concerning sex and religion. The girl's self-esteem dwindles to microscopic proportions thanks to a series of no-good boyfriends. Suffering a nervous breakdown, she is placed in an asylum, where for the first time she treated as a human being rather than a nuisance by compassionate psychiatrist John Heard. Completed in the late 1980s, End of Innocence was released in 1990, one year after the death of star Rebecca Schaeffer. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.
