The Undercover Man

CrimeDramaRomance85 min

Glenn Ford is Frank Warren, a Treasury agent assigned to bring down a powerful mob boss by going undercover as a criminal. Instead of easy leads, Frank finds frightened witnesses, police officers on the take, and a city where the mob’s reach keeps closing doors. Nina Foch appears alongside Ford, with James Whitmore in support, as the investigation builds through back-room pressure, street-level intimidation, and the slow work of assembling a federal case.
