!Tropes for the film:
* BigApplesauce: Takes place in the 1940s.
* IfItBleedsItLeads: Benzy, a 1940s tabloid photographer. At one point someone mentions that guys like him always carry a pin in case they find an abandoned baby. They stick the baby with the pin before taking the picture because the newspapers pay extra for pictures of crying babies.
* {{Paparazzi}}: Benzy (inspired by "Weegee" Fellig). As it's noir film, he's portrayed more as an AntiHero.
* {{Tagline}}: "Murder. Scandal. Crime. No matter what he was shooting,, "The Great Bernzini" never took sides, he only took pictures...Except once".
