<p>There is a lot to see of pre-war photographing in this movie. However, it is not 100 % correct.<br>

There is a scene where the "public eye" does infrared shots at night. I wonder if there is more infrared light than visible light at night, however, I also wonder how the reporter does the focussing for infrared film?<br>

At least in the german version, when shooting inside an ambulance car, he mutters exposure details (speed and aperture) which would not be possible even with today's high speed film.<br>

In one of the last scenes, he uses an Exakta with a pentaprism which was introduced some years AFTER WWII.</p>

<p>I enjoyed the movie despite the few quibbles. I don't remember how he shot the infrared, but should mention that Weegee was fairly famous for shooting infrared in theaters and the like. I imagine one could focus by guesswork at night, simply displacing the guessed focus a bit. I think by then at least some lenses had infrared marks for this.</p>
