The FBI Story

A rat-a-tat depiction of the FBI's formative years, as seen through the eyes of agent Chip Hadesty (James Stewart). See Chip take on gangsters like Baby Face Nelson and John Dillinger; the KKK, Nazi spy rings and Communist agents, while also getting an amazing look inside the bureau's crime labs. J Edgar Hoover himself had quite a bit of input, personally choosing Stewart for the lead, as he felt he had a 'positive image', and there was always two FBI agents on-set prompting many to dismiss it as pure propaganda. With Vera Miles, Murray Hamilton and Nick Adams.
