Presented in the then trend-setting semi-documentary format, this rather dry and grim Spy/Thriller from 1945 was based upon apparent fact and staged at actual locations._____ Set in and around NYC, this picture (frequently using voice-over narration) tells the dramatic tale of FBI counter-espionage activities during WW2._____ Clever Nazi agents, operating under-cover in The Big Apple, ruthlessly attempt to pilfer part of the atomic bomb formula known as "Process 97". But, without having to be told, we already know that these amateurs inevitably turn out to be no match for the mighty sharp boys and girls employed by the FBI._____ Filmed in b&w, The House On 92nd Street was directed by Henry Hathaway whose other notable films include - Niagara, Nevada Smith and True Grit.
