"Say there, who is this guy, J.Edgar Hoover hu?"

That's the only line I remember from the film, it's part of my Jimmy Stewart impression.

Wow! Your really have made my day, Chickenhearted. I love these threads. I actually do know this one. I knew you'd give me a chance to redeem myself.

"(For mgh)" is the dullest title for a movie I've EVER heard.

Was it made in the sixties? If so, it's probably the short-hand version used for its actual title: WHY DID SOMEONE POST THIS THREAD FOR MGH, AND WHY DID HE WAIT SO LONG TO REPLY? (1969)

Gee, I thought it was sort of catchy.

Yes, that was the actual title and that was after it had been shortened from the even longer one.

I always thought that Jimmy Stewart was miscast as an F.B.I. agent in this film.

In liberal Hollywood, Stewart was a safe choice. THE FBI STORY was the first film to be made with the full cooperation of the agency. A June 1958 Hollywood Reporter news item reported that the FBI ran “routine checks” on all personnel involved in the film. According to the news item, the agency wanted “no one involved in the production who might later embarrass the F.B.I. by being subsequently revealed as having a commie or criminal past.”
