The Story
n Eddie Adams, one of the 20th century’s top photographers, filmmaker Susan Morgan Cooper has a great subject for her film “An Unlikely Weapon.” He is one not just because he took brilliant photographs or was in the thick of life like few people would ever dare, but because he is, simply, a great character. Her documentary does justice to all sides of this complicated contrarian.

Morgan Cooper is self-distributing her film, which opens Friday in New York and will roll out in various markets in coming weeks. Since she scored interviews with some of broadcasting’s top journalists such as Tom Brokow, Bob Schieffer and the late Peter Jennings, the film is a natural for cable TV later on.
Adams photographed 13 wars, six U.S. presidents, a pope and countless celebrities, but what he did best was to take a shot that summed up an event. He had a great eye — what good photographer doesn’t? — but what he also had, which few do, is an instinct for the right moment, the right 1/500th of a second to be exact, when that picture would tell a whole story.

That certainly was true for his most famous photograph, one he probably wished he never took. This was the shot he took while he worked for AP at the height of the Vietnam war of Gen. Nygoc Loan, head of the Saigon police, firing a pistol point blank into the head of a Viet Cong prisoner.

It won a Pulitzer Prize, but the general never lived that photo down. “Two lives were destroyed that day,” Adams would say. “That’s not my job.” That photo haunted Adams until the day he died. He didn’t like what he had done to a general who was an American ally.
