“The FBI Story,” two-time Pulitzer prize winner Don Whitehead’s thrilling account of the activities of the nation’s most famous law enforcement agency, was read by millions both in book and serialized fnm during 1957. It remain? ed on the best seller list for 38
weeks.
Now one of the important motion pictures of 1959, Warner Bros.’ film adaptation of “The FBI Story,” starring James Stewart and Vera Miles, opens Sunday at the
Walker Theater.
“The FBI Story” ranks with “Giant” as one of Warner Bros.’ most ambitious undertakings. One hundred and sixty-three sets were built for the motion picture, which was filmed with complete authen-
ticity.
Even the smallest roles were cast with infinite care. Though the trapping of John Dillinger by FBI agents is one brief sequence, months were spent before producer director Mervyn LeRoy found the Dillinger he wanted in the person of Scott Peters, an ex-disk jockey fiom Saskatatoon, Canada. LeRoy, a gentleman noted for his enthusiasm, displayed even more than his usual quota of verve in discussing “The FBI Story.” “This picture will give the public the lowdown on how the FBI operates. Too many people are ignorant of its workings. The bureua has been doing a magnificent job for years, but the general public’s imagination wasn’t aroused until they moved in on gangsters like John Dillinger, ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd and ‘Baby Face’ Nelson. These events will be depicted in the film. Yet the incessant war on gangsterism is only one of the marty functions of the FBI, as the picture will show,” he declared. Included in the Technicolor production are such action-packed events as the undercover work by agents in solving murders of Osage Indians in Oklahoma to obtain their oil rights, and FBI counter-espionage work in South American countries in which GerLeRoy blended the adventure and drama of FBI activities with a warm and entertaining account of an agent’s personal and family life. The scieuiplay was written oy two of Hollywood’s foremost writers, John Twist and Richard Breen.
