The Public Eye

Murder. Scandal. Crime. No Matter what he was shooting he never took sides, only pictures... Except one. The freelance photographers of New York in 1942 spent their nights roaming the streets, recording the crimes and catastrophies of the city and getting paid "three bucks a corpse" by their hardened copy editors. But among all those who shot the killers and the victims, the fires and the car crashes, the high life and the low life, one saw beauty in all the ugliness. Academy Award ® winner Joe Pesci stars as the brilliant, eccentric Bernzy, the tabloid photographer with a love for an unattainable woman, so great that he was willing to put his life on the line for her safety. © Universal City Studios, Inc.
