Mister 880

Mister 880

Mister 880 is a 1950 film directed by Edmund Goulding and starring Burt Lancaster, Dorothy McGuire, Edmund Gwenn, and Millard Mitchell. It was based on an article by St. Clair McKelway that was first published in The New Yorker and later collected in McKelway's book True Tales from the Annals of Crime & Rascality. The article described the case of Edward Mueller, an elderly man who counterfeited a small number of one dollar bills and who eluded the United States Secret Service for ten years. In the movie, the protagonist was named 'Skipper' Miller. However, Edward Mueller was merely an alias name. The man's real name was Emerich Juettner. The NY Sun article linked to below provides a brief life story of Juettner and his exploits.

Noteworthy of mention, as told in the NY Sun article, Juettner made more money off the release of this film than he'd made in his entire counterfeiting career.
