I don't know about Hoover, but after reading The Biography of Hoover, what I regret the most is not that the story is not exciting, that the characters are not full, or that the span is too messy, it is the makeup of the whole film! The aging makeup of Hoover and her boyfriend was a real failure. . It's even more disgusting than "Rejuvenation". Every time I see his handsome boyfriend turned into such a disgusting makeup, it makes me want to cry without tears. He is so elegant, loyal, affectionate and charming. what. I believe that even if the little charming is old, he should be elegant and handsome, not the effect of a lump of unleavened wrinkled dough in this movie, and he can't even open his eyes. . How I miss the way he looked at Hoover so fondly and gracefully in his youth. . Eliminating the mistakes of old-fashioned makeup, Clyde should give some consolation prizes, at least they should gain a lot of nympho fans!

[J. Edgar Hoover and Helen Gandy are on a date in the public library]
J. Edgar Hoover: Well, would you like to stay here, or go somewhere else?
Helen Gandy: It's up to you.
Helen Gandy: [Edgar chuckles and makes an attempt to kiss Helen] Mr. Hoover. I'm not sure where you think this is headed.
J. Edgar Hoover: Right, of course. Miss Gandy.
[Edgar holds out his hand to hers and gets on one knee]
J. Edgar Hoover: I know we've only known each other a brief time, but you would make the finest of companions. Your strength, and your character, and your education.
Helen Gandy: Are you poking fun at me?
J. Edgar Hoover: No. No, no, no. No, no, of course not.
Helen Gandy: Then please, Mr. Hoover, stand up.
J. Edgar Hoover: I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't share this with any of the other women at the typing pool.
Helen Gandy: No, of course not.
J. Edgar Hoover: All right. May I ask what - what - what particular flaw you seem to find in my character?
Helen Gandy: No. We just met.
J. Edgar Hoover: Right, of course. But I believe that I am a fast and accurate judge of character. We've gone out three times, but I don't need more. Most people do, but I don't. I see people right off for what they are. And please, call me Edgar. It's what my mother uses.
Helen Gandy: Edgar?
J. Edgar Hoover: Yes?
Helen Gandy: Can you keep a secret?
J. Edgar Hoover: Yes. Of course. You have my word.
Helen Gandy: I'm not interested in getting married. My work comes first.
J. Edgar Hoover: Hmm. Then perhaps you would consider a position as my personal secretary.
Helen Gandy: [chuckles and nods] Yes.
J. Edgar Hoover: [Edgar smiles] Shall we.

[J. Edgar Hoover meets the child actress, Shirley Temple, at the movie house in front of reporters]
Reporter: Miss Temple!
Shirley Temple: Mr. Hoover, I was wondering if you would join my police force.
J. Edgar Hoover: Why, yes, Miss Temple. If you agree to be an honorary G-Woman and give me one little kiss.
Shirley Temple: I don't know if your wife would approve, Mr. Hoover.
J. Edgar Hoover: But, you see, I still live with my mother.
[both chuckle]
Shirley Temple: Oh, Okay!
[Miss Temple kisses him on the cheek under the flash of cameras]
