T-Men
Terrific... and true!
Directed by Anthony Mann
Produced by Edward Small Productions, Eagle-Lion Films (US)
A taut, procedurally-minded film noir about federal agents infiltrating a counterfeiting operation, built on undercover deception and the moral ambiguities of living a double life.
Two T-men, U.S. Treasury agents, go undercover in Detroit, and then Los Angeles, in an attempt to break a U.S. currency counterfeiting ring.
