Review of The FBI Story

As with most Hollywood biographies, The FBI Story needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Having said that, Jimmy Stewart does a wonderful job of portraying the early FBI agent. The story intertwines his personal life story with that of the agency. The story works well, with the various personal moments mingling well with the agency’s growing pains.
