The Real Weegee

This video documents the career of Arthur Fellig, whose sensationalistic photographs helped to define tabloid and legitimate news photography. Going by the nickname of "Weegee," he gained notoriety with his experiments in manipulating photographs. Over his long career, Fellig immortalized on film dozens of politicians, gangsters, and movie stars.
