About Mister 880
The Skipper is a charming old man loved by all his neighbors. What they don't know is that he is also Mr. 880, an amateurish counterfeiter who has amazingly managed to elude the Secret Service for 20 years.
Directed by Edmund Goulding, Mister 880 leans on a strong ensemble — Burt Lancaster, Dorothy McGuire, Edmund Gwenn — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1950.
