Jeremy Dauber, Atran Professor of Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture at Columbia University, speaks about the films of Sidney Lumet. This is the final part of a series of four lectures on Jewish-American filmmakers. Dauber describes Lumet as more difficult to “categorize and pin down” in comparison to the other filmmakers covered in this series. Over the course of the lecture, he describes the films Lumet has made and speculates on “how Jewishness figures into those films.” Dauber also shares details about the director’s early life including his early career in Yiddish and English language theatrical productions, his military service, and his entry into the film industry as a television director. He shares clips and comments on some of Lumet’s significant films, including Twelve Angry Men (1957), The Pawnbroker (1964), and Dog Day Afternoon (1975).
