Review of The House on 92nd Street (1945) by Martin T — 30 Sep 2008
Pretty good spy thriller (despite it's usual tag this is NOT a film noir) about a German/American FBI agent infiltrating a group of Nazis in New York City who are attempting to steal the secret of the A Bomb.
A notable picture being that it is the first film that can be classed as a docu-drama or police procedural (this film had the full cooperation of the FBI, and introduced the public to many of its tools - such as newly devised two-way mirrors - and methods in solving crimes). Instead of being shot on studio backlots it was shot on location on the streets of NYC and used many actual FBI employees in background roles to add to its realism.
