The FBI Story Movie Review 1959

Mr. Stewart goes to Washington in this anatomy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. If you're a fan of the gangster genre (LeRoy earlier directed "Little Caesar"), and not especially persnickity about fidelity to the facts, this actioner offers a pseudo-factual (read fictional) glimpse--based on actual cases from the 1920s through the 1950s--into the life of a fictitious agent-family man.
