http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039881/ United States Treasury agents O'Brien (dEnnis O'Keefe) and Genaro infiltrate a counterfeiting ring which has some dangerously good paper. This undercover-secret-service-agents-infiltrate-counterfeiting-ring film is heavily dependent on exceptionally fine noir lighting and camera work under the direction of Albert Mann which help to maintain a high degree of tension, notwithstanding its pseudo-documentary format (complete with voice-over narrator) and somewhat stilted acting. Wallace Ford is positively slimy in the supporting role of Schemer, a hood-fallen-in-influence. Watch for One Step Beyond's John Newland appearing uncredited as Jackson Lee.

Reviewer:Jigsawpuzzleman - - September 29, 2009 Subject: A feast for the eyes... I really enjoyed this film. The visuals are stunning from the lighting through the pictorial composition (the shot near the end where he's fumbling for the plate underneath the sink is a case in point) and right to the details of the clothing.
OK, it rambles on a bit too long, just turn off the sound.
Reviewer:keygrip - - August 16, 2009 Subject: Anthony Mann finding his feet This drama documentary is an early entry in the catalogue of Anthony Mann who was to find fame in his collaborations with James Stewart in a series of gritty westerns of the 1950's. T-Men is an above average example of film noir with it's fair share of suspense and excitment.Good performances by Dennis O'Keefe, Wallace Ford and arch heavy Charles McGraw.
