It’s 4:00 am and I’m wide awake with insomnia; I’m watching Jules Dassin’s 1948 The Naked City, a film whose look was inspired by Weegee’s 1945 book of the same name. Here’s some images from him. (Nothing bloody.)

One

“Their First Murder,” 1945

Two

“Simply Add Boiling Water,” 1943

Three

“At the Jazz Concert,” 1945

Four

“Men Caught in Store, February 17, 1941,” 1941

Five

“Arrested for Dressing as Girls…the Cops, the Old Meanies, Broke up their Dance Party…and Took Them to the Pokey,” 1941
