"G-Man (short for Government Man) is gangster slang for an FBI agent.
Gangster "Machine Gun" Kelly reputedly coined the nickname while being interrogated in September 1933. In 1935, the term became fashionable and gained more widespread use with the release of the film G Men starring James Cagney."

One of the best of the Hollywood FBI stories finds Cagney fighting for the good guys after being raised with the mob. When a vicious mobster rubs out attorney James Cagney's friend, a federal agent or G-Man, he trades in the law for a lawman's badge. He makes good use of his background in his search for the killers. A thriller and a top James Cagney performance
