this isn not among jimmy stewart best film i be quick to admit that . however and while some view his film a pure propaganda and i be wonder what so wrong with that . yes and sure and like the tv show the fbi and this be an obvious case of the bureau do some pr work to try to drum up support . but and a entertainment go and it do a good job . plus and surprisingly enough for the time it be make and the film focus more on crime than espionage and commie . instead and it a fictionalization of one of the early agent and the career he choose . now consider the agent be play by jimmy stewart and then it pretty certain the acting and writing be good a this be a movie with a real budget and a studio who wasn not about to waste the star in a third rate flick . so overall and it worth see but not especially great .
