T-Men (1947)


 

Two US Treasury agents hunt a successful counterfeiting ring. 

Straightforward, realistic and unsentimental crime thriller successfully conveys undercover police work with suspense and great on-location cinematography.

Halliwell*: "Tough, well-made crime melodrama which still packs a punch in the traditional vein."

Maltin***: "Semidocumentary-style story...Vividly exciting; director Mann and camerman John Alton went out of their way to use unusual, effective lighting and compositions in this A-1 film."
