This is another Anthony Mann film noir. <br /><br />It's a documentary style police thriller with undercover Treasury agents infiltrating a counterfeiting ring. Having undercover law enforcement officers was a common noir trope. <br /><br />Dennis O'Keefe plays the main character, a "T-Man" pretending to be a former member of a Detroit gang called "The River Gang," probably based on the real life Purple Gang. <br /><br />Charles McGraw plays a dangerous hood, a characterization McGraw did very well. Other times he played a cop. <br /><br />Many years ago, when my brother started out as a lawyer, he was assigned to defend a counterfeiter in federal court. He negotiated a plea deal for a prison sentence. The counterfeiter was satisfied and thanked my brother. He didn't mind going to prison for a few years.<br /><br />My brother said this counterfeiter was a scary individual.
