  • I have been searching (in vain!) for a portal where I could purchase an old PBS documentary about Weegee. The documentary itself, as a fitting to tribute to this man's genius, was brilliantly shot, edited and put together. If anyone knows how I can get it please let me know, thanks!

  • @Joannegmurphy Never heard of that - would love to see it also.

  • Was this one interview? Or clips from different interviews? I noticed that the sound becomes less "tinny" at 2:02 ...

  • @spider9137 I agree, it sounds like interviews done at different times & edited together. It was taken from a vintage LP. I don't have the vinyl, just an MP3 as heard here.
