DICK TRACY VS. CUEBALL(1946)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
Another great entry in the "Dick Tracy" series!
As is obvious from the title, Dick takes on
Cueball when he starts a killing spree over
some diamonds!! B+
A review from IMDb.com:
Dick Tracy must solve the murder of the courier
of $300,000 worth of diamonds. Only clue of the
strangulation are bits of a material embedded
in the neck. Soon two more killings and the same
material. Tracy discovers that a specially
ordered hat with a band around it is the murder
weapon. From this Tracy deduces the killer - Cueball,
that bald and passionless man. Friend or foe,
old or young, no one is immune from the clutches
of Cueball.
Most of the scenes are at night which lead to
a dark and gloomy feeling of dread in the city.
This feeling adds to the sense of evil that Dick
Tracy battles. A fine film with a fitting outcome
for Cueball. - jcholguin
