The Sidney Lumet Movie List. It was sad to hear that one of my favourite Directors passed on today. Sidney Lumet was born in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania on the 25 June 1924 and passed away on Saturday 9 April 2011 at his family home in Manhattan of lymphoma.
After the enjoyable musical The Wiz (1978) and the interesting but not easily accessible comedy Just Tell Me What You Want (1980), Sidney Lumet won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for his outstanding direction of Prince of the City (1981), one of his best and most typical films.
