The FBI Story

This movie is a favourite of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks (1990). As he states the first time he uses his tape recorder December 25, 1967: "Above my bed on the wall is my most important personal item, a poster of Jimmy Stewart in the movie The FBI Story which only I can touch."

Jennie forgets her speech at a mid-term Honor Society event. When her father comforts her in the family car a few moments later, the cherry blossoms are in bloom; this usually occurs in early April in Washington (DC). However, after they leave the car with the radio still on, a news bulletin breaks in, announcing the attack on Pearl Harbor, which took place on December 7, 1941. No cherry blossoms would have been in bloom then, nor would the weather have been mild enough as depicted in the accompanying scenes.
