Kluge and Thomas Moore. The article describes the real-life RAID on a branch of the Chase Manhattan bank inBrooklyn in 1972. Although the real Sonny in an interview with the New York Times in 1975 would declare that the film but for 30% where is, the scenario itself largely to the facts mentioned in the article. The real Sonny (John Wojtowicz), for example, seemed surprisingly much on Al Pacino. On the other hand was the real Sal Naturile only eighteen, while actor John Cazale that accounted for the role of Sal, was almost forty. According to Wojtowicz nothing knocked by the way his first wife, Carmen Bufilico, is depicted in the film, as a bulky, bad English speaking nag. In addition it was not true that he had left in his Carmen for his new husband, Ernest Aron (after her surgery Elizabeth Eden). He met Aron two years after his divorce. John Wojtowicz would end up serving 14 years of his sentence and died in 2006. He financed the sex surgery by Aron with the money he received for the film rights. Aron changed his name to Elizabeth Eden and lived as a woman. Eden died in 1987. ==Production<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Although the scenario is based on facts, is there anyway a lot of improvisation in the film. For example, if a bank robber plays Sal, Cazale all older man with a great sadness. In the script, however, was provide a young street kid, goedgebekt. It was Al Pacino that Sidney Lumet Cazale for the role to win over. This made the scenario changed. The talent of Cazale was good for one of the best improvisations in the film. As Sonny asks about which country they should fly, Sal replies: "Wyoming". He invented it on the spot and was forced to immediately involve not to burst out laughing. Another example of improvisation is the scene where Pacino and actor Chris Sarandon, that role of Leon Schermer film stars, on the phone talking to each other. Leon is in the barber shop across the street from the bank and police should exert its influence on Sonny, with the intention that it will throw up. The conversation was improvised and delivered a legendary scene on.
