Re: RARA-AVIS: Weegee / film

There was a film loosely inspired by Weegee style of life and photos: The Public Eye (1992) Even with some defect in the script, it's far better than what the critics were claiming at the time of release. Joe Pesci is brilliant in that film which is acceptable Noir, with a good story... Really underrated.

Now, for Weegee's "live" street and crime photos there are enough books publishing anthologies of them, and giving an excellent idea about the work of this exceptional photographer ( for those here not knowing him well). He's HB... no doubt about this. And Noir...
