Weegee Speaks!

On that page are a couple of MP3's.  One is Henri Cartier-Bresson.  The other is Weegee.

It's interesting to hear his voice, which is one of those accents you don't hear so much in New York anymore: part Austro-Hungarian immigrant by way of the Lower East Side and part Elmer Fudd. Peter Sellers based his accent in Dr. Strangelove on Weegee's voice after Weegee visited Kubrick's set one day.

I have often wondered about Peter Seller's choice of accent for that film.
