SOUNDBITE (English) Sidney Lumet, Director and recipient of LAFCA Career Achievement Award: \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's terrific because you know the states of enmity between people that work in movies and critics is so constant and suddenly you look around and all of a sudden they are being nice for a moment it throws you. You don't quite know why then it really is very flattering.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFILE: New York - 6 January 2008 \u003cbr/\u003e3. Lumet talking to reporters\u003cbr/\u003e4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sidney Lumet, Director: \u003cbr/\u003e\"I think for anybody who works in movies or does any work whether in theatre the relationship with the critics is hostile. The only place I don't see that happening is among writers. There is civilized because they talk about the critics as other writers.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFILE: New York - 27 November, 2007 \u003cbr/\u003e5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sidney Lumet, Director:\u003cbr/\u003e\"The biggest thing is there's a kind of kindness. I've never seen him (referring to Robert Egbert) make a smart-ass remark or a joke for the sake of it. There's a kind of real love of movies and that's been that way for 40 years, so that's been good to see.\" \u003cbr/\u003e6. Lumet greets Roger Ebert and his wife, Chaz Hammelsmith, tilt up to sign for New York's Gotham Awards\u003cbr/\u003eSidney Lumet, the award-winning director of such acclaimed films as \"Network,\" \"Serpico,\" \"Dog Day Afternoon\" and \"12 Angry Men,\" has died. \u003cbr/\u003eHe was 86.\u003cbr/\u003eLumet's death was confirmed Saturday by Marc Kusnetz, who is the husband of Lumet's stepdaughter, Leslie Gimbel. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said Lumet died during the night and had suffered from lymphoma.\u003cbr/\u003eA Philadelphia native, Lumet moved to New York City as a child, and it became the location of choice for more than 30 of his films. \u003cbr/\u003eAlthough he freely admitted to a lifelong love affair with the city, he often showed its grittier side.\u003cbr/\u003eSuch dramas as \"Prince of the City,\" \"Q\u0026amp;A,\" \"Night Falls on Manhattan\" and \"Serpico\" looked at the hard lives and corruptibility of New York police officers. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Dog Day Afternoon\" told the true-life story of two social misfits who set in motion a chain of disastrous events when they tried to rob a New York City bank on an oppressively hot summer afternoon.\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough he didn't work in Los Angeles, the director maintained good relations with the Hollywood studios, partly because he finished his pictures\u003cbr/\u003eunder schedule and budget.\u003cbr/\u003e His television beginnings had schooled him in working fast, and he rarely shot more than four takes of a scene.\u003cbr/\u003eHe was nominated four times for directing Academy Awards, and although he never won, Lumet did receive an honorary Oscar in 2005 for lifetime\u003cbr/\u003eachievement. \u003cbr/\u003eHe also received the Directors Guild of America's prestigious D.W. Griffith Award for lifetime achievement in 1993.\u003cbr/\u003eLumet immediately established himself as an A-list director with his first theatrical film, 1957's \"12 Angry Men,\" which took an early and powerful\u003cbr/\u003elook at racial prejudice as it depicted 12 jurors trying to reach a verdict in a trial involving a young Hispanic man wrongly accused of murder. \u003cbr/\u003eIt garnered him his first Academy Award nomination.\u003cbr/\u003eOther Oscar nominations were for \"Dog Day Afternoon\" (1975), \"Network\" (1976) and \"The Verdict\" (1982).\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough best known for his hard-bitten portrayals of urban life, Lumet's resume also included films based on noted plays: Eugene O'Neill's \"Long\u003cbr/\u003eDay's Journey into Night,\" Arthur Miller's \"A View from the Bridge,\" and Tennessee Williams' \"Orpheus Descending,\" which was made into \"The\u003cbr/\u003eFugitive Kind.\" \u003cbr/\u003eHe also dealt with such matters as the Holocaust (\"The Pawnbroker\"), nuclear war (\"Fail-Safe\") and the convicted Soviet spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg (\"Daniel\").\u003cbr/\u003eHe directed a highly successful Agatha Christie mystery, the all-star \"Murder on the Orient Express,\" as well.\u003cbr/\u003eThe director was born June 25, 1924, in Philadelphia to a pair of Yiddish stage performers, and he began his show business career as a child actor,\u003cbr/\u003eappearing on radio at age 4.\u003cbr/\u003eHe made his Broadway debut in 1934 with a small role in Sidney Kingsley's acclaimed \"Dead End,\" and he twice played Jesus, in Max Reinhardt's\u003cbr/\u003eproduction of \"The Eternal Road\" and Maxwell Anderson's \"Journey to Jerusalem.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAfter serving as a radar repairman in India and Burma during World War II, Lumet returned to New York and formed an acting company. \u003cbr/\u003eIn 1950, Yul Brynner, a friend and a director at CBS-TV, invited him to join the network as an assistant director. Soon he rose to director, working on 150 episodes of the \"Danger\" thriller as well as other series.\u003cbr/\u003eThe advent of live TV dramas boosted Lumet's reputation. \u003cbr/\u003eLike Arthur Penn, John Frankenheimer, Delbert Mann and other directors of television drama's Golden Age, he smoothly made the transition to movies.\u003cbr/\u003eLumet continued directing features into his 80s, and in 2001 he returned to his television roots, creating, writing, directing and executive producing\u003cbr/\u003ea cable series, \"100 Centre Street.\" \u003cbr/\u003eHis first three marriages ended in divorce: to actress Rita Gam, heiress Gloria Vanderbilt and Lena Horne's daughter, Gail Jones. \u003cbr/\u003eIn 1980, he married journalist Mary Gimbel.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
