After watchign a documentary on Dillinger, Babyface Nelson and such on The History Channel, I remembered I have FBI Story on tape which is another decent Jimmy Stewart film, which I just seemed to forget about.
Stewart plays a fictional FBI agent in what ends up being a propaganda piece for Hoover in many respects, but also has its moments. Real incidents and people crop up now and again as they kill Dillinger, catch this one guy who blew up a plane and killed everyone on board to collect flight insurance off his dead mother (I forget the guy's name) and shoot Baby Face Nelson.
I am going to have to dig this film out of the stockpile and watch it again.
