T-Men, the 1948 Anthony Mann U.S. Treasury government agents counterfeiting crime film noir ("TERRIFIC... And True!"; "The raw, savage, screen-searing story of the Treasury's tough guys!"; "Tough... Tense... Terrific... True!"; "Suggested by a Story by Virginia Kellogg") starring Dennis O'Keefe, Mary Meade, Alfred Ryder, Wallace Ford (billed as "Wally Ford"), June Lockhart, Charles McGraw, and Jack Overman AND He Walked by Night, the 1948 Alfred L. Werker Los Angeles California crime film noir thriller ("From the homicide files of the Los Angeles Police"; "Savage! Searing! True!"; "Savage TRUTH! Stronger than Fiction!"; "In the watery darkness of the massive sewers that wind tortuously beneath Los Angeles a man flees for his life. Now he stops - waiting, listening, his finger tense about the trigger of his gun. Suddenly - he whirls - fires blindly into the blackness! The thundering blast echoes and re-echoes through the tunnel, bouncing maddeningly from wall-to-wall, and in the blazing flash we see him - Savage, brutal - this is the killer who has struck again and again - the killer the police have hunted,patiently, skillfully, courageously - relentlessly tying each tiny clue, every shred and strand of evidence into an evertightening net. Now it's closing... they have him cornered again, fighting desperately for his life... deadly, defiant, unafraid!"; "He held a loaded gun at the heart of a great city!"; "Original Story by Crane Wilbur"; the movie is told in a documentary style fashion with narration, and the viewer follows the police's efforts, a technique which has been much imitated since!) starring Richard Basehart, Scott Brady (billed as "Scott 'Canon City' Brady"), Roy Roberts, Whit Bissell, James Cardwell, and Jack Webb. Note that this movie gave Jack Webb one of his first significant roles, but more significantly, he adapted the documentary-style of this movie when he created his Dragnet radio show the following year (which of course later moved to television with great success). This movie can be seen as the precursor to all of the modern police shows like "Law and Order", even though it is only remembered by film buffs today.

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 68 "faux" lobby card sets we were consigned, which we are auctioning in 68 separate auctions! They were created in 2021 by a long time collector who (like so many of us) chose to stay home this year a lot due to Covid, and he made these to help pass the time! He was inspired by the "Fantasy #9 lobby cards created several decades ago, each of which is from a classic horror/sci-fi movie, showing a great scene that wasn't in the original set!

Similarly, our consignor created these 68 sets, using top images from each film! He did not make these through a computer program, but instead pasted together actual prints to create mock-ups. On most of these he make 8 card sets, but on a number of them he created sets with 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13! He then printed just THREE of each set, and he won't be reprinting them. He numbered the first card in each set, and what we are offering here is the "1 of 3" of this set, which means there are only two other sets, and there will never be more.

Our consignor will permanently keep one of the three of each, but MAY give us the remaining set at a later time to auction. But the winner of this auction will have one of just three of these numbered sets that were created!
