Back in 1999 director Sidney Lumet<\/strong> sat down for a three hour interview about his life and career in television.<\/p>\n

He later went on to make his name as a film director with such films as 12 Angry Men (1957), Dog Day Afternoon (1975), Network (1976) and The Verdict (1982).<\/p>\n

But his background in theatre and television were a big influence on his subsequent work and this lengthy discussion is a fascinating insight into his early career.<\/p>\n

The conversation with Ralph Engelmen in 1999 for the Archive of American Television<\/a> covered his growing up during the Depression, his early work in theater and the pioneering days of television, the era of McCarthyism and his subsequent transition to feature films.<\/p>\n
