American film-director, Sidney Lumet, died yesterday, April 9, 2011. He is known for films like '12 Angry Men', 'Dog Day Afternoon', 'Network', and 'The Verdict'. I remember him for his direction of Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine in the 1982 film 'Deathtrap'.
Deathtrap began as a 1978 play by Ira Levin which received a Tony Award nomination for Best Play. I find the 1982 film to be a great thriller with mysterious suspense and dialogue. It's a favorite of mine and I post this one, today, as a tribute and honor to director Sidney Lumet.
