The wilder-than-fiction true story behind the sensational bank heist immortalized in the 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon\n\nOn the hottest day of 1972, John Wojtowicz and a teenage accomplice strode into a Brooklyn bank, guns drawn, and demanded the contents of the vault. The cops showed up before the two could escape. Over the next 14-hours, an unexpected drama played out in real time. Wojtowicz took the lead, making demands of the cops and unashamedly declaring that he was a gay man and wished to see his trans lover. Part of the reason for the heist, he hinted, was to get the cash to pay for her gender-affirming surgery. Wojtowicz captured the attention of the city and the nation. And did not let it go until he was arrested and his accomplice was shot dead by the FBI.\n\nAl Pacino famously\n\nDog's Day\nThe True Story of a Bank Robbery, Gay Liberation, and Toxic Love That Inspired a Hollywood Classic\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK deliv;
