The Critic (1943) – Weegee

Arthur Fellig earned the moniker Weegee, a play on Ouija, for his natural ability to capture the right shot. As an Austrian immigrant in the Lower East Side, he was famous for showing the social inequalities through his lens after the Great Depression. He asked his assistant to find an intoxicated woman and bring her to the Metropolitan Opera House.

Fellig strategically positioned himself at the entrance and told his assistant to leap, and the result was nothing short of phenomenal. His works were published in PM Weekly, Daily News, and Herald-Tribune.
