Based on Federal Agent Frank J Wilson’s pursuit of Al Capone, The Undercover Man is a noir classic from one of its master directors, Joseph H Lewis (Gun Crazy, The Big Combo).
Glenn Ford (The Big Heat) plays a treasury agent charged with taking down a shadowy mob boss known only as the ‘Big Fellow’, only to find that the police have been paid off, and witnesses are getting bumped off.
With solid support from Nina Foch (The Dark Past), James Whitmore (Madigan) and Barry Kelley (711 Ocean Drive), The Undercover Man is a brilliant documentary-style thriller, a tale ‘told with the snarl of a machine gun!’
