There is an iconic photo of the Spanish Civil War: a soldier falling to his death, arms splayed out behind him, gun still in hand, after being shot on a grassy hill. But an evidence claims to prove that the camera does lie - and Capa's famous Falling Soldier was faked. Hungarian Capa has been hailed as the founder of modern photo-journalism, building his reputation as a war photographer by living the maxim: 'If the photo isn't good enough, it's because you're not close enough.' Capa as the lover of Ingrid Bergman and the photographer of "Françoise and Pablo" is in fact more attractive than Capa as the famous war photographer.
