American movie icon James Stewart portrays one of J. Edgar Hoover’s finest and Vera Miles co-stars as his steadfast wife in this salute to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The colorful career of Agent Chip Hardesty (Stewart) covers 1924 to the late ’50s. Along the way he tangles with everything from the Ku Klux Klan to a bomber who commits mass murder for insurance money. His fiercest exploits come in the ’30s when he stares down a gun barrel at Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, Ma Barker and John Dillinger. From two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Don Whitehead’s bestseller and directed by veteran Hollywood hitmaker Mervyn LeRoy, The FBI Story is your rat-a-tat ticket to the inside story.

Blue pill flick….but good fantasy film from back in the day.
Not a bad film. The domestic stuff is pretty lame, and makes the Stewart character kind of an ass. Would have been better (and shorter) without it.
The
Story of the fbi
I 1st saw this movie 2 yrs ago
And I haven't been able to see it again on tcm
Fell in love w/it so I don't kn how it ends or anything
I just wish Tcm would keep it on its movie rosters for play overs
FBI is garbage? guess that's why local yokels send SO much evidence to them, not to mention requesting profile information when they (locals) can't figure out who is in their own back yard. we'd be fkd without the FBI. I imagine the one that calls them garbage was rejected by the FBI. yee haw!! at least you have more then one bullet Barney!
Its one of the most well done movie that Ive seen. Rich in history rich in family values rich in love and care for your spouse and children. Full of action. Be prepare for your emotions to go on a rollercoaster ride.
The FBI is and always will be garbage. That's coming from a member of law enforcement.
fbi regardless of the recent crap will be the top law enforcement arm in this country . thank god we have them .
When I first saw this old classic movie in 1978, I was just out of college. Even brainwashed by "liberal" political correctness. Now I watched for the second time in a dvd from the library. After so many years later with 9/11, London, Madrid, suicide bombers with the radical threats of Islam, I am afraid if James Stewart were alive today, he was the narrator & main protagonist of this movie, he will feel vindicated today after justifying the FBI for its constant surveillance. And to "think" I remember calling this movie "fascist". Now I eat my words!
Saw the movie. The first scene of the plane destruction by a bomb to kill his mother [& the other unfortunate crew members & passengers] while not gruesome, is shocking. At least the bum [Jack Graham] who did it got his punishment!
