Top Action Drama | 1960
J. Edgar Hoover forced director Mervyn LeRoy to re-shoot a scene because he didn't approve of one of the extras.
This 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."
Two FBI agents were on the set at all times.
The crime in the opening sequence, the November 1, 1955 bombing of United Airlines Flight 629, is detailed in A Crime to Remember: Time Bomb (2013).
J. Edgar Hoover personally chose James Stewart for the role of Chip Hardesty because he felt that Stewart conveyed a positive image.
"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."
"John Gilbert Graham: [after being arrested for murder] In case I get any mail, you can send it to Canon City Prison for the next month or so. After that you can send it to Hell!"
