  1. “Dog Day Afternoon” is pretty much all true, they did change the bank to a storefront in the middle of a block. The real bank was a stand alone 1 story building on a corner that wouldn’t let them film. My Aunt worked there, but after the robbery. It was on Avenue P and East 3rd street, a few blocks away from the F train… It was torn down awhile ago, now it’s a 5 over 1 (commercial first floor, residential on top of it). Also the food they ordered for the hostages wasn’t pizza, it was burgers. I believe they changed Pacino’s character’s name from John to Sonny because the real John was still alive and couldn’t make money off of his story from prison.
