"After quitting high school, Nicky works different jobs including construction work on high rise buildings in Manhattan. One day, Nicky has a run in and beats up the foreman’s brother. This makes Nicky realize that construction work is not for him. "

Yep, i guess it's best to figure that kinda stuff out early in life...

Fellig's nickname was a phonetic rendering of Ouija, due to his frequent, seemingly prescient arrivals at scenes only minutes after crimes, fires or other emergencies were reported to authorities.
Were I a filmmaker, I'd find this highly inspiring and eerie!
Naked City (1945), was his first book of photographs. Film producer Mark Hellinger bought the rights to the title from Weegee.[8] In 1948, Weegee's aesthetic formed the foundation for Hellinger's film The Naked City. It was based on a gritty 1948 story written by Malvin Wald about the investigation into a model's murder in New York.

The lead character of Bernzy, played by Joe Pesci, in the 1992 film The Public Eye, was strongly inspired by Fellig.
what the..? Netflix doesn't have this?!?

It's just the same quality as the VHS not the best but it suits me, i'm not one of these people who say i can't watch DVD'S now because Blu-ray is so amazing ::) . They really annoy me with this crap.
I still watch taped vhs from the 80's the quality was good enough for everyone then, so why not now.
