Review Summary and Plot Commentary about T-Men
T-MEN is a movie directed by Anthony Mann in 1947.

Government investigators O'Brien and Genaro are assigned to a dangerous mission. They have to discover who is responsible for the counterfeit money that is spreading across the U.S. First, they fly to Detroit in order to go undercover, then to Los Angeles where The Schemer introduces them to "Shiv" Triano who's working for an invisible boss. O'Brien brought with him perfect plates he wants to propose to this organization of counterfeiters. But these criminals are mistrustful and soon kill Genaro, whose T-Man status has been accidentally exposed.
