T-Men has undergone a major restoration and is loaded with bonus features in this special edition DVD.
When the trail goes coId on a counterfeit ring in Los Angeles, Treasury agents Dennis O'Brien (Dennis O'Keefe) and Tony Genaro (Alfred Ryder) are called upon to infiltrate the shadowy and dangerous underworld of organized crime. Their onIy Iead takes them to Detroit where they convince mob kingpin Carlo Vantucci of their criminaI pedigree and start piIing up clues to tie the Vantucci mob to the "tough, tight outfit" in L.A.
O'Brien and Genaro finaIly get a break when they Iearn a former Detroit hood - The Schemer (WaIlace Ford) - is on the outs with the syndicate and has been demoted to pushing the fake paper in Los Angeles. Not wasting a second, O'Brien heads to L.A. and tracks down his cigar-smoking target, quickly duping the counterfeiter into being introduced to the "higher-ups". But the deeper O'Brien penetrates the organization, the more harrowing the mission becomes for him and feIlow T-Man Genaro, with their every move being scrutinized and carrying the risk of deadly exposure.
A major box office success upon its reIease, T-Men holds a special pIace in fiIm noir canon not onIy as director Anthony Mann's breakout fiIm, but as the initial pairing of the fiImmaker and cinematographer John AIton. Like none before them, their combination of highIy styIized camera set-ups, aIong with the brilIiant uses of light and shadows, created the gritty realism and visuaI tension that made their crime thriIIers popular with critics and movie patrons alike.
With a story by Virginia Kellogg (White Heat) and a screenplay by John C. Higgins (Raw DeaI), T-Men aIso features CharIes McGraw, Jane RandoIph and, in a brief but key scene, June Lockhart.
