FBI Code 98 is a 1962 crime drama directed by Leslie H. Martinson and produced by Warner Bros. Originally intended as television pilot, the film was instead released theatrically in the United Kingdom in 1962,[1] and in the United States in 1964. FBI Code 98 stars many Warner Bros. contract players such as Jack Kelly, Ray Danton and William Reynolds.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation cooperated in the filming of FBI Code 98,[2] with sequences filmed in Washington, D.C. and Quantico, Virginia.
The working title of the film was Headquarters F.B.I. with screenwriter and producer Stanley Niss having a novelization of the screenplay published under that title.[3] Niss, a former police reporter,[4] had written episodes for the radio shows Gangbusters and Counterspy and episodes of several Warner Bros. television shows. Niss also visited the set to smooth difficulties between Ray Danton and director Leslie H. Martinson.[5]
