Movie Info

The moodily evocative docudrama T-Men stars Dennis O'Keefe as Dennis O'Brien, a treasury agent determined to bring a counterfeiting ring to justice. O'Brien and his partner Tony Genaro (Alfred Ryder) go undercover to gain the confidence of the ruthless Detroit mob responsible for the phony money. The plot, compelling though it is, takes second place to the film's stylish set pieces, superbly directed by Anthony Mann and brilliantly photographed by John Alton. Among the film's most famous moments

Hard as nails Anthony Mann noir classic starring Dennis O'Keefe and June Lockhart.

Visually brilliant, powerful thriller.

Classic Film and Television

Subtext is king in Anthony Mann's noirs, with engrossing, underlying social, political, and psychological traumas compensating for caricatural dialogue, monotonous performances, and plodding plot twists.

Brought to wider attention the immense skills of B-film director Anthony Mann.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Has a kind of documentary immediacy, with a trumpet-voiced narrator piping in to tell us what's going on.

How exciting, agents of the US treasury are on the case! Okay, I'm being sarcastic, this is a horribly boring movie.

Above average B movie police procedural. Narrator is a bit intrusive, but the cinematography is excellent, as well as the handling of several key scenes.
