Mister 880 is an amiable story about a most unusual counterfeiter who baffled the Secret Service for ten years - from 1938 to 1948 - before he was identified and arrested. Supposedly no single counterfeiter or counterfeit ring has ever operated successfully in the United States for such a long period of time. The film is a fictionalized version of the true story of Edward Mueller, who at the age of 63 began to supplement his meager income with phony dollar bills which he made on a small printing press in his New York City apartment. Mister 880 is a new addition to Fox's Cinema Archives library of MOD DVDs, and while it is not a flawless transfer it will certainly satisfy most viewers.
