James Cagney's classic film G-Men is reworked for a World War II era plot about a man who joins the FBI to find the people responsible for the death of his friend Charles Lang who was on the trail of a Nazi spy ring. Craig Stevens, TV's future Peter Gunn, is our protagonist stepping into the role that Cagney originated.
What Stevens does not know is that the man who helped raise him as an orphan Frank Reicher is being forced to work for some of our domestic Nazis. He owns a hotel in New York out of which the spy ring operates. Stevens is also dating the lounge singer from the hotel Faye Emerson.
If you've seen G-Men then you generally know how this film comes out. Of course there are some changes including one major change involving one of the main characters.
Secret Enemies is not likely to get a remake for modern times, it's strictly propaganda. One thing I thought was extremely dumb was the way the Nazis tried to use the same gimmick to get Stevens the way they got Jackson. You would think that since they know the FBI is on to them they'd try something different. But Nazis during World War II era films were a pretty dumb lot.
If you see this check out G-Men and you'll how the first is light years better than the remake. Might have had a lot to do with the dynamic James Cagney in the cast.
