Brilliant movie Richard Widmark could play any part. He brought an intensity, & intelligence to any part and villanous as we see here just great acting all round 👍
Wonderful sequel to "The House on 92nd Street" and this lifelong Washingtonian loves the opening shots of streetcars on Pennsylvania Ave. And the FBI as "the good guys"... now that is nostalgic! Thanks for posting this fine print of a classic.
The best of the FBI/Police movies made back then, the cast is great, too. I love Widmark, and Mark Stevens was as good as actors in bigger roles, IMO. 2 underrated actors:John McIntire and Ed Begley made many good films, and until 12 Angry Men, Begley was never given credit he deserved. He was awesome with Fonda in that role. Great post-TY!
I grew up in the 60's. Many people always carried wallet with drivers license and social security card with them. People were not as sleazy as today. Identity theft was rare. You grew up in a different era. License was left to frame the guy.
@@kevino4846 I've been watching boxing since Muhammad Ali brought the game back from Mafia control. Tyson was the last of the great honest heavyweights. None of that champion boxing knowledge appears in Rocky anywhere. The whole movie series is juvenile and helps to sugar poison the very real athletic competition. Stallion? Hahahahahaha hahahahahah...... Get real.
@@kevino4846 You have never watched a real boxing match, have you? A good match is not a pretend slug-fest full of blood you must watch because you got to really like Stallone and hope for revenge.
Yeah people always carry their social security card and their wallet with them when they go to rob a jewelry store, and then leave their social security card there. That's how they catch most of the jewelry store thieves. Ridiculous.
@@jobuchner2563 well, no, I didnt say that. But I realized I'd seen it before, so I stopped watching. But such a ridiculous and obvious set up and frame. They might have well placed his birth certificate and baptismal certificate.
People used to habitually carry their SS cards. There wasn't ID theft as a common crime until fairly recently. Criminals really do leave things at the scene of a crime because of panic and inexperience, disorganization, or being interrupted.

Great movie. It seems the FBI focus has changed a lot over the years.
Really good flick. Widmark makes tge best bad guy. Very convincing actor n anything he does 👍
Widmark CAN DEFINITELY play a gritty effin’ bad guy. Amiright? Just sayin”.
A really decent movie! 👍
William Woodson, narrator (he was also heard on radio's "THIS IS YOUR FBI" at the time).
Good movie, but stupid for Feds to tell cops about the bust when they knew there was a leak. Stevens was good, and Lloyd Nolan as always.
Civilian Agency “OpSec Comm Sec” protocols were & still are ignored by sophomoric “amateurs”. Tally Body Counts! :(
7/10, even though the 21st Century FBI has soiled themselves.
By failing to get that draft dodging traitor, old bone spurs himself, prison time.
Bad end for bob danker…he also got it over Germany with the 918th😺

who is narrating this story? Does anyone know?
The boxing scene is better than anything in "Rocky"
Uh, no. Watch Rocky again.

So, you didn't like this film then?

Shouldn't b n wallet anyway. Should b left at home but good point on all. It's a movie, writer wantd it.
@@diannemiller1895 it was 1948. You kept it with you in your wallet in those days.
Odd way to sound a message over a mic. Acted like a first time civie using a transmitter for the first time.
Sam Fuller stole, i mean borrowed,
the plot for House of Bamboo
He merely seized and redistributed it, Comrade...
Why is everybody smoking all the time?
cause everybody smoked back then anywhere, anytime. No restrictions like today.
It was a hidden propaganda of smoking and advertisement for the tobacco dealers. People’s mind was effected without realizing.

STRESS
Because it gives actors something to do, particularly with their hands, when they do not have a line. Same with drinks.
What's w all those stripes on Chief of Police sleeves? Thats ridiculous!
1948, similar to military uniforms. Uniforms really haven't really changed all that much.
@@jobuchner2563 that was too much. What does he want, people to think he's US Admiral of the Fleet?
@@aspenrebel that was the style back then, too much or not.

@@pmullins1495 Dunkin' Donuts wouldn't exist if there weren't police.
Back when the FBI wasn’t a pro-Communist criminal organization aiding traitors.
How boring. BORING!
Widmark is just sleazy
His characters, which show what a good actor he was. By all accounts, one of the nicest guys around. Had a very long marriage.
What a stupid movie!
Planning an operation knowing there is a traitor-squealer in the police department! 😂😂😂
What was the screenwriter thinking of?!😂😂😂😂
I think you'll find that they weren't thinking
That’s the magic of a Hollywood story.
