A New York suicide 1

October 30th, 1929
A distraught and corrupted New York stock broker plummets to his death as law enforcement watches helplessly from the curb.
The man willingly leapt to his demise as specially tasked law enforcement attempted to infiltrated his office on suspicions of fraudulent investments.
Officer Duncan Fraser (seen in the rear of the photo) was on traffic watch when the incident unfolded, and is quoted as saying "Poor bastard. Tomorrow night have been a brighter day", which after widespread media attention is credited with the first time the term was popularized in pop culture terminology.
Now my question is, what did he mean by this? And would Hollywood ever make a movie about this?
