If the two sides fail to agree, then Warner Bros. can negotiate with the other networks. Leslie Moonves, the president of CBS, developed ER when he was a Warner executive and is particularly eager to land it. Reportedly the studio will ask for $10 million...

(Jules Dassin used it for a hard-boiled crime film that was shot on location in New York City, a Weegee-flavored novelty in those days, when nearly everything was made on a studio sound stage or back lot.) Around the same time, Weegee entered a short-lived marriage and moved to Hollywood for a few years, where he played bit parts in B-movies and took candid shots of the stars.
