Walk a Crooked Mile (1948) (original) (raw)
Director Gordon Douglas drew on mounting anti-Communist hysteria to create one of the first Cold War films - the tale of an FBI agent (Dennis O'Keefe) and a Scotland Yard detective (Louis Hayward) who must bust a spy ring working to infiltrate an atomic research facility. Producer Edward Small stood tall in a battle against FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to produce the film without interference, arguing the Bureau was fair game for fictionalization.
