The Real Dog Day Afternoon: Bank Robbery in New York City

The actual original broadcast of the strange but true bank robbery in Brooklyn, New York in August of 1972 which was later made into the legendary and classic 1975 film starring Al Pacino, Dog Day Afternoon. Harry Reasoner recounts the day’s events, which the movie faithfully recreated. You even see the real Pacino character, John Wojtowicz strut around briefly, just as Pacino does, which became movie folklore. Wojtowicz died in January 2006.
