Mister 880 Full Movie RESTORED 720p | Burt Lancaster | Dorothy McGuire | Edmund Gwenn | Edmund Gwenn

Описание: Plot
Steve Buchanan and his boss discuss their longest running case, case 880, which only involves fake one dollar bills, each with a self-evident mistake: Washington is spelled "Wahsington". Out of respect for their perpetrator they nickname him Mister 880. The counterfeit notes passed by him are called "880s".

Buchanan goes back to the original first case, but is stretching people's memories.

He begins to suspect a woman, Ann Winslow, rather than a man, and starts dating her to find out more. But early in the investigation she is told he works for the Secret Service. She is interested in him romantically but leads a lot of false clues linking to her potentially being a counterfeiter. They fall in love. Steve is offered a job in France as forgery of dollars there is also on the increase. He decides to turn it down: partly due to Ann, and partly due to the unresolved case 880.

However, it is Ann not Steve who works out who Mr 880 is: her elderly friend "Skipper". She is very fond of Skipper and does not wish to see him go to prison.

When eventually caught, Skipper stands trial, but oddly Steve asks the judge for leniency. The judge could pass a sentence of 15 years but instead gives him 9 months. After a little debate this is amended to a year and a day as only sentences over a year are eligible for parole. This allows him to be paroled after 4 months. He is also fined one dollar... but all he can find in his pockets are forgeries so Ann offers to pay.
