Sidney’s first film, “12 Angry Men“, was the only film my father ever produced. I saw it again fairly recently and realized what a brilliant film it is. I also worked with Sidney in ” The Morning After” in which I played a drunk. I loved working with him. He was a master. Such control of his craft. He had strong, progressive values and never betrayed them. Alongside that, he loved to laugh. I remember when I first met him…way back in the late 50s when he was working with my Dad, I was struck by his laughter. He taught me to appreciate bagels…good New York bagels. He was always very kind and generous with me and I am very sad he has died.
