P. F. Kluge is the author of the magazine article on which "Dog Day
Afternoon" is based. He is also the author of the novel "Eddie and the
Cruisers" on which that film is based.
The novel and the film have been described as a rock and roll Citizen Kane. To this, I do not object. The first 'Eddie And The Cruisers' was directed by Martin Davidson. The sequel, 'Eddie Lives,' is a talent-free embarrassment.
