Yes, The Public Eye is a GREAT movie based on Weegee. My favorite scenes
are when Weegee dons a priests garb from the well-outfitted trunk of his car
to
gain access to photograph a murder, sneaking into an ambulance with the body
and police. He moves his light meter in the sign of the cross over the
body, then pulls his Graflex out from under his robes, gets his shot and
flees!
Another great shot is one he sets up, putting a rangefinder camera on a
roller skate with string tied to it and a spring wound self timer to safely
pull
the camera through a hail of machine gun-fire in an italian restaurant
execution. Anything to get the shot! Great movie.
