F.B.I. Girl (1952) Crime/Noir | Cesar Romero, George Brent, Raymond Burr

[@Brembelia]

A star-studded cast: George Brent, Cesar Romero, and Raymond Burr, all together in the same movie. 😃

[@billybrown7953]

I've been watching these types of movies for years and never seen this one. A few well known actors and actresses in it and it was a well worth watch movie. Raymond Burr sure plays a lot of villains before Perry Mason and Ironside.

[@anombrerose6311]

I've never seen it or heard of it, before. Good Movie.

He was a "villain" in real life.

[@shelbynamels7948]

In that case, let me allow to recommend "Borderline", with Fred McMurray and Claire Trevor. Again, Burr's the heavy.

In the 1950s my mom graduated from a very small well one of the smallest high schools in the Western United she replied to an ad in a local newspaper road on her first bus all the way across the United States 🚌 to Washington d.c.she was very fast one of the fastest typers accurate and had full knowledge of shorthand.

[@totallyfrozen]

The written Hollywood movie code (I don’t remember the title of the document) of 1934 stated that the government and law enforcement could never be portrayed negatively. Knowing this, you’d know there was no way any movie of the 1950’s would have been permitted to show the FBI as anything but completely noble.

[@anombrerose6311]

Some folks also sand them off. For many years, my mother could not be fingerprinted because her hands were so dry the teensy amount of moisture from dampness or body oils simply wasn't there, due to some of her health problems. We probably wouldn't have known except she bought a mail delivery route temporarily from my dad's older brother, and they kept trying to get a print of her fingerprints the whole time she had it, They found other ways in the small community to verify who she was, anyway, but before it became much of an issue, my uncle decided retirement didn't suit him as much as he thought it would and he bought the franchise back.. I go through periods where the credit card readers don't accept my fingers on the screen readers, and I have to use their stylus.

He also played an amoral playboy in "The Blue Gardenia" and good-guy roles in "Please Murder Me!" and "Crime of Passion" - and an interesting role in "Ride the High Iron." And he played King Balthazar in the 1952 "Family Theatre" Christmas drama "A Star Shall Rise."
