Hard to believe that this was directed by Mervyn LeRoy but no surprise that it stars James Stewart since he was a conservative. This movie is total propaganda and it puts J. Edgar Hoover in a total positive light. The movie starts out in 1924 with Stewart getting married to Vera Miles while he's working at the FBI in Tennessee. Things are really bad until Hoover takes over and Stewart decides to stay over his wife's objection. It shows him working on several cases like taking on the KKK and all kinds of other cases. The FBI isn't allowed to carry guns until some gangsters like Pretty Boy Floyd starts to kill several agents. After the war the FBI goes after a man just because he was a communist and this movie is nothing but propaganda for capitalism.
