Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar Hoover biopic sees Leonardo DiCaprio give an Oscar-worthy performance as the passionate but troubled longtime head of the FBI.
In this exclusive clip from the film, to be released on Friday, Hoover - portrayed as a deeply-closeted, mother-fixated control freak - and his assistant director/life companion Clyde Tolson drink with three ladies in a bar.
The ladies happen to be a young Ginger Rogers and her mother, played by film newcomer Jamie LaBarber and Lea Thompson, along with Cover Girl actress Anita Colby, played by Amanda Schull.
Hoover flirts with the ladies using his crime-related knowledge but when Colby propositions him, saying: "All the love in the world can't fill the spot where love goes," Hoover quickly removes himself from the situation, stating: "I serve my country Miss Colby, the nation's admiration is enough for me."
Watch the clip above.
