DICK TRACY DETECTIVE(1945)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
Remember the vibrant colors and the great music in
this? Oh, wait, that's the 1990 "Dick Tracy"! This
Tracy is your typical 1940s police drama, with the
exception that it has the famous dectective in it!
While this is pretty standard, it's still light years
ahead of a lot of the mystery movies that's now being
produced! B+
A review from IMDb.com:
This is a really good and fun comic crime thriller.
It's worth watching if you like comic heroes and
superhero type of films. This particular film might
appeal to those that like crime noir.
Dick Tracy is after a man calling himself Splitface.
Splitface is a serial killer - and out to get 14
people in remembrance of his jury trial when he
was put in prison for murder. Splitface is out
of prison and now out to get revenge on those
that put him there.
Some interesting scenes with lots of action. The
film is comic book-ish in it's way but not so
much so that fans of crime noir could not enjoy
the film. I'd say the film is more noir-ish
than comic book-ish.
