Following the success of his first book, Naked City (1946), Weegee spent some time working in Hollywood as an actor and consultant. Mark Hellinger bought the rights to use the title from Weegee, and his gritty aesthetic formed the foundation for Hellinger's 1948 film The Naked City.

Weegee was an uncredited special effects consultant and credited stills photographer for Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, and was one of the influences on the accent of the title character, played by Peter Sellers.
