...Atomic City (Paramount) is a neat little B-budget thriller of grade-A caliber about G-men hunting down H-bomb spies. The fun begins when foreign agents kidnap a nuclear physicist's son and hold him for a ransom in atomic formulas. The cops & robbers story is an old formula itself, but the tightly knit screenplay bristles with tingling action and intriguing mechanical devices used by the FBI operatives to track down the criminals: car-to-car telephones, kinescope, television cameras with zoom lenses...
Except for eight whoppers who got away, the FBI had pretty well seined out all Commies of any size on the East Coast. Last week it shifted its operations, started hauling in California medium fry. In an early-morning roundup in Los Angeles and San Francisco, G-men arrested eleven of California's top Communist leaders, including such party faithfuls as Bernadette Doyle, 45, who polled 600,000 votes last year when she ran for state superintendent of public instruction (she wasn't identified as a Communist on the ballot, was presumed to have attracted many votes...
After numerous Hollywood tributes to G-men and T-men, the movie is also the first to glorify the federal sleuths of the Post Office Inspection Service (who now. presumably qualify for abbreviation as P-men). When a post-office inspector is murdered, Inspector Ladd gets the job of running down the killers. He finds his suspects planning a foolproof $1,000,000 postal robbery, joins the gang's conspiracy in the guise of a bribe-hungry cop. Ladd's risky masquerade finally lands him in a mess that only fists, bullets and fast footwork can straighten...
After months of chasing and capturing atomic spies, the FBI finally made an inevitable announcement last week: its Denver agents had arrested an atomic souvenir collector. The G-Men announced the gist of the case with their usual deadpan gravity. The accused was a 28-year-old University of Denver metallurgical engineer named Sanford Lawrence Simons. He had admitted that while working at Los Alamos in 1946 he had stolen a pinhead-sized piece of plutonium and kept it buried under his house for four years...
...last week, FBI agents had the word and they were on hand to tail him. Twenty-five-year-old Long was a toughie all right; he had three stretches for stealing and assault on his record, had crashed out of prison twice. But it wasn't Long the G-men were interested in. They hoped he would lead them to his old pal, John Omar Pinson, a cop killer who had escaped from Salem a year before and worked himself onto the FBI's list of "most wanted" criminals...
