Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie is a favourite of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks (1990). As he states the first time he uses his tape recorder December 25, 1967: "Above my bed on the wall is my most important personal item, a poster of Jimmy Stewart in the movie The FBI Story which only I can touch."
- GoofsJennie forgets her speech at a mid-term Honor Society event. When her father comforts her in the family car a few moments later, the cherry blossoms are in bloom; this usually occurs in early April in Washington (DC). However, after they leave the car with the radio still on, a news bulletin breaks in, announcing the attack on Pearl Harbor, which took place on December 7, 1941. No cherry blossoms would have been in bloom then, nor would the weather have been mild enough as depicted in the accompanying scenes.
- Quotes
John Michael Hardesty: [Opening narration] Webster's International Dictionary defines murder as the unlawful taking of human life by another human being. On a November evening in 1955 the definition became obsolete. A mass murder was being planned.
- ConnectionsEdited from The High and the Mighty (1954)

An Underrated Gem
This James Stewart movie is often overlooked and dismissed but it is actually quite good. The story is engaging, it has an appealing theme tune, and Vera Miles is absolutely beautiful. Often you see the flaws of movies the second or third time you watch them but this is not the case for this movie. I've watched this about 5 times and it still hasn't gotten old.
