DICK TRACY MEETS GRUESOME(1947)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
A new Dick Tracy here! He does ok, but not
as good as Morgan Conway! In this, a dude
calling himself Gruesom(I know, shock!)
has stumbled accross a gas that puts people
in a coma for a short time, long enough to
rob banks, etc! The best part of this one
is, of course, the top billed Boris Karloff!! B
A review from IMDb.com:
This is a good little film and the first one
that I saw Skelton Knaggs listed in the
credits--he is a hoot to watch as X-Ray!!
Something about this late actor is funny
to watch, I don't know if it is his voice
or his looks or what, but he is something
else in this film.
But I found this film to be very enjoyable
and fun to watch--in fact, all of the Dick
Tracy films from the 1940's are good ones.
Good character names all around--Lee Thal,
A.Tomic-- wonder if they came from the comic
strip or the screenwriters? Either way, I
like the play on words. But, it is a good
film and if you enjoy harmless fun, be sure
and catch this one if it on
television.!! - SkippyDevereaux
