Howard Franklin's hommage to a Weegee-like tabloid photographer of the type celebrated in the old Warners' programmer, The Picture Snatcher. The writer-director's soft-minded appreciation spills over into Nazi-fighting heroics and a beauty-and-beast romantic angle. Everything considered, Joe Pesci is remarkably subdued, remarkably un-Runyonesque. And the period production turns up just enough small pleasures to keep you well occupied, irrespective of the plot. Barbara Hershey, Stanley Tucci. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
