I'm a big movie fan, especially of certain older B&W movies.  I watch about
one a week.  Last night I saw "The Set-up" directed by Robert Wise and
released in 1949.  In its simplest form it's a boxing movie.  I'd not seen
it before and so was very surprised to find that Weegee had a small role as
the fights time keeper, the guy who rings the bell to start and end the
rounds.  He fit so well into the pic, chomping on his ceegar and wearing
his somewhat oversized fedora.  The movie is highly recommended, BTW.
