Thanks for the tip about the Web site! Nicely organized
pages.
Agree with you. Weegee gave a certain view on crude street
reality that is
not allien to hard-boiled material or Noir films. Anyway in
today
presentations he is paralleled to Noir, and for obvious
reason.
He was the photographer that inspired the film "Public Eye"
with, by the
way, a HB/Noir filmscript. Joe Pesci as the photographer is
even more real
than his model! Barbara Hershey is the lady of the story.
Director: Howard
Franklin.
A good film IMO, even with some evident weaknesses in the
script. I missed
it when released in 1992, by lack of promotion. Fortunately I
found it by
chance collecting dust in a Laser Disc rental two years
ago.
