Dick Tracy

Dick Tracy takes on a powerful criminal known as The Lame one (the irony.)

I have to be honest, I found this a real chore, I was gifted Dick Tracy returns on dvd, so sat through this one again to catch up, I found this such a long, drawn out slog.

The copy I had was very grainy, the recent viewing of it was much sharper, the picture had definitely been cleaned up somewhat, that did improve the experience a little.

Some of the dialogue is cringe worth, I know it's donkey's years old, but some of the moments are so agonisingly corny. I found the storyline a little odd, but it could definitely have been condensed down somewhat.

Some of the special effects look ok considering the year it was made, and some of the model shots hold up well.

Ralph Byrd would play the part of Dick Tracy for a long time, I think he got better in the part with time, I thought this was a bit of a rough start.

4/10.
