The House on 92nd Street, WWII Movie
(1945) A film noir … which I recently learned means that it is a black and white crime drama. When the movie first began, it reminded me of Jack Webb’s TV Show Dragnet.
During the years leading up to the war, Germany planted thousands of “fifth column” sleeper agents in the US, and this movie illustrated how the FBI would uncover them. This particular spy ring happened to be sending details of top secret atomic bomb experiments to Germany.
The movie was made with the full cooperation of the FBI and Hoover himself is shown in the beginning scene.
I loved this movie because of all the espionage aspects of it.
