Product Information

Jimmy Stewart plays the great American yet again as Chip Hardesty, a backwoods paper pusher for the Bureau of Investigation, the predecessor to the FBI. Under pressure from his wife, Lucy (Vera Miles), Hardesty decides to resign in order to pursue a more lucrative career as a lawyer. But when he travels to D.C., Hardesty meets the bureau's new boss, J. Edgar Hoover, and decides to stick with the organization. Over the next 30 years, Hardesty travels the country to face all the evils and villains of the United States, including the Ku Klux Klan, murderous oil barons, John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Nazis, and communist spies. Throughout, Hardesty struggles between his commitment to his growing family and the life-threatening demands of his job. Choosing the street operator's perspective on the history of the FBI provides the film with numerous action sequences that are accompanied by a fine score from maestro Max Steiner.

Engaging movie!
Even though great liberties are taken with the details, this movie portrays members of the FBI with a positive light, and rightfully so. Mr. Hoover built the FBI with one purpose in mind, to have an organization dedicated to the preservation of law and order, and to create a certain fear in the minds of those who would do us harm. Much has been written and said, condemning Mr. Hoover, but one thing is certain, the FBI has always been the premier law enforcement agency of all. James Stewart's portrayal of a typical agent is dead on. He is a member of a special group of men and women who are in actuality, human beings. They have families and loved ones, and they have problems and sorrows, like the rest of us. This is one detail not left out of this movie. Some may say The FBI Story is a piece of fluff from days gone by. I say it is a look behind the curtain of one of the most outstanding organizations we have in America. The great Mervyn Leroy knew what he was doing with this movie. Yes, Mr. Hoover was very and jealously protective of the image created by this movie and rightfully so. Here it is 2016, and this movie is still entertaining and relevant to today. Want a fast paced bio-historical story? Then this is one not to miss.

BUY IT, WATCH IT, AND KEEP IT FOREVER!
I first watched this movie when I was a kid back in the 70's. I loved it back then and haven't seen it in decades. For some reason the movie popped into my head and begged me to watch it again. I was so glad I to find it is still available. I bought it and watched it as soon as I got it. I had forgotten some of it during the 35 years that had passed since my last viewing and it was like watching it for the first time. WHAT A GREAT MOVIE! Acting was so much different back then. The historical story line was excellent and I loved how it kept moving through the time period. The move never really stalled or got boring. I highly recommend this movie to anyone. Kids nowadays won't ever know this movies exists without parents like my mom who got me to watch it. There are so many of these movies from the seventies we need to share. I HIGHLY recommend this movie as a good source or entertainment for a family movie night. History, some action and true respect for people who protect us, all wrapped into one package. Enjoy the popcorn!

Well, ah, I suppose I could go to congress, as Jimmie Stuart might say.
I read a couple books that provided a background that was used in the movie and could relate my readings to the movie.

This is a wonderful movie about the improvements in the FBI, plus it has a good romantic story line to it regarding the agent and his family. I really enjoyed Vera Miles and Jimmy Stewart in this movie. I would recommend it to anyone.
