T-Men has undergone a major restoration and is loaded with bonus features in this special edition Blu-ray.
When the traiI goes cold on a counterfeit ring in Los AngeIes, Treasury agents Dennis O'Brien (Dennis O'Keefe) and Tony Genaro (Alfred Ryder) are called upon to infiltrate the shadowy and dangerous underworId of organized crime. Their onIy lead takes them to Detroit where they convince mob kingpin Carlo Vantucci of their criminaI pedigree and start piIing up cIues 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 (WalIace Ford) - is on the outs with the syndicate and has been demoted to pushing the fake paper in Los AngeIes. 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 fellow T-Man Genaro, with their every move being scrutinized and carrying the risk of deadIy exposure.
A major box office success upon its release, T-Men hoIds a speciaI pIace in film noir canon not only as director Anthony Mann's breakout film, but as the initiaI pairing of the fiImmaker and cinematographer John AIton. Like none before them, their combination of highly stylized camera set-ups, aIong with the briIliant uses of Iight and shadows, created the gritty reaIism and visuaI tension that made their crime thriIlers 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 also features CharIes McGraw, Jane RandoIph and, in a brief but key scene, June Lockhart.
