F.B.I. Girl (1951)

A prominent state governor (Raymond Greenleaf) has a criminal record under another name. When he is on the verge of being exposed, his ruthless right hand man (Raymond Burr) arranges for his fingerprints to go missing with the help of an FBI employee (Margia Dean). But when things go wrong and the girl is killed, two FBI agents (Cesar Romero, George Brent)  are hot on the case. Directed by William A. Berke, this B noir-ish crime movie is somewhat overly complicated and its villains seem more inclined to bungle everything rather than think things carefully out. But a movie like this wasn't made with much care, it's a quickie designed to play at the bottom of a double feature and move in and out of theaters in a week. It's a painless watch and the cast is good. With Audrey Totter in the title role, Tom Drake, Joi Lansing, Tommy Noonan, Peter Marshall and O.Z. Whitehead.
