"My job is to care about and be responsible for every frame of every movie I make. I know that all over the world there are young people borrowing from relatives and saving their allowances to buy their first cameras and put together their first student movies, some of them dreaming of becoming famous and making a fortune. But a few are dreaming of finding out what matters to them, of saying to themselves and to anyone who will listen, 'I care.' A few of them want to make good movies."

                                                                                                 -Sidney Lumet

 

Beginning his career as an off-Broadway director, expanding into television direction, then finally claiming his place in the world of theatrical cinema, Sidney Lumet is one of the most prolific directors of his time.

 

Lumet's first motion picture is the widley known, arguably most famous 12 Angry Men, of which film historian Stephen Bowles says ". . . [12 Angry Men] was an auspicious beginning for Lumet. It was a critical and commercial success and established Lumet as a director skilled at adapting theatrical properties to motion pictures." True to Bowel's claim, Lumet's talent is not only evident when one considers the overall mise en scene of the film, but specifically in the perfomances of the film's cast.
