Has anyone ever seen "The FBI Story", based on the Hollow Nickel Case?

[James_OldeTowne]

If the movie is any good, where can I find a copy?

James, according to wikipedia, it was a hollow half dollar used for espionage, but that isn't the basis for the whole movie.

 

It was made in 1959 and stars James Stewart. Amazon has it listed and it has a 3-out-of-5 star rating. Correction: 4-1/2 star rating.

I've seen it, but it was quite a while back. I recall that I liked it, but then I'm a Jimmy Stewart fan.

I saw it when it came to the Palace Theater in about 1960 and several times on TV. Was a great propaganda piece for J. Edgar. It did show close ups of the coin.
