"My job is to make sure that everybody's going in the same direction - that's why I'm called a director."
Sidney Lumet is one of America's most prolific film-makers. He believes cinema is a collaborative art, and prefers to remain in his native New York to becoming a Hollywood 'star' director. In his first major television interview, Lumet looks back over his career and discusses the obsession with crime, punishment and justice which he has explored in such classics as Twelve Angry Men and Serpico, being shown this week, in Dog Day Afternoon - and again in his latest film, Q&A, starring Nick Nolte.
