Mister 880 (1950) | Charming True Story of an Elusive Counterfeiter | Burt Lancaster & Edmund Gwenn

Описание: Discover Mister 880 (1950), a delightful romantic comedy-drama based on a true story, directed by Edmund Goulding and starring Burt Lancaster, Dorothy McGuire, and Oscar-nominated Edmund Gwenn. The film centers on a Secret Service agent Steve Buchanan (Lancaster) tracking a unique counterfeiter who produces poorly made $1 bills with a spelling error on “Washington.” Known only as “Mister 880,” this elderly junk dealer quietly eludes the law while spreading his counterfeit bills sparingly to support himself.

The light-hearted tone balances gentle romance between Steve and Ann Winslow (McGuire) with a heartwarming portrayal of “Skipper” Miller (Gwenn), making this an engaging watch for fans of classic cinema and crime-based true stories.
