In Reply to: A new film on Robert Capa life. Michael Man director--- posted by patrickU on October 5, 2009 at 09:53:51:
Wonder if Mann biopic will have the candor to address the questions surrounding the legitimacy of Capa's most famous (Falling Soldier) photo? He is a great war photographer, no doubt about it. I'd want to see it anyway. The loss of the majority of the D-Day pictures (I think he came in the with the 2nd wave of the landing forces at Omaha beach) in a lab mishap is one of the great "what if's" of the war. See link to recent NY Times article.
