J. Edgar (2011)StorylineBiopic of J. Edgar Hoover told by Hoover as he recalls his career for a biography. Early in his career, Hoover fixated on Communists, anarchists and any other revolutionary taking action against the U.S. government. He slowly builds the agency's reputation, becoming the sole arbiter of who gets hired and fired. One of his hires is Clyde Tolson who is quickly promoted to Assistant Director and would be Hoover's confidant and companion for the rest of Hoover's life. Hoover's memories have him playing a greater role in the many high profile cases the FBI was involved in - the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the arrest of bank robbers like John Dillinger - and also show him to be quite adept at manipulating the various politicians he's worked with over his career, thanks in large part to his secret files.

Edgar Hoover and his mother leave the Strand Theatre following the premiere of 'G' Men, a theatre marquee across Times Square announces the Eltinge Follies. Julian Eltinge was a famous female impersonator and drag performer in the early 20th century and had his own theater on 42nd Street. »GoofsAnachronisms: As the 1933 Inauguration parade passes by Hoover's office in the background, outside his window, is the National Archives building. Its cornerstone had been laid, at most, one month earlier in February 1933 and the building was not completed until late 1935. »Quotes[first lines]J. Edgar Hoover: Let me tell you something. The SCLC has direct Communist ties. Even great men can be corrupted, can't they? Communism is not a political party. It is a disease. It corrupts the soul, turning men, even the gentlest of men, into vicious evil tyrants. » ConnectionsReferences 'G' Men (1935) » |
