Reviews which might be of interest for "3 Dick Tracy Films Of The SIlver Screen - Dick Tracy's Dilemma / Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome / Dick Tracy Vs Cueball (DVD)"
Advantages: A good villain Disadvantages: Some really awful logic in the crime solving
Conway makes a very good Tracy. He has the All-American square jawed look that perfectly fits the newspaper strip image and has an aura about him that suits the detective.
Dick is joined by his ?gal? Tess Trueheart, played by Anne Jeffrey, his young ward/son/pal ?Junior? (it is never explained what his relationship is to Tracy but from the film I would guess he is his ward just like Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson (Robin)) and his partner Pat Patton, Lyle Latell, (who fills the equivalent role to Watson in Sherlock Holmes) as the main cast of the movie.
There are a couple of other cast members, including the professor, who get a little bit of screen time but other than Mike Mazurski, who plays the evil Splitface, none of them really appear enough to get a mention.
This is to be expected though as DickTracy relied upon its core cast and often ...
Advantages: Karloff is magnificent Disadvantages: Not enough tension and mystery
of regular co-stars, his girlfriend Tess Trueheart and his partner Detective Pat Patton, who always helped and hindered him in his crook catching enterprise.
DickTracyMeetsGruesome, made in 1947, gives us a new Tracy, Morgan Conway (star of the last two films) is replaced as out titular hero by Ralph Byrd, the actor who also played him in the 12 part movie serials that were made before the films.
It also benefits from having a high quality guest star as the villain of the piece? Boris Karloff.
Karloff plays Gruesome, an escaped convict who has plans to continue his criminal enterprises. This time though he has a distinct advantage, he has met up with an old friend and been introduced to a scientist who has come up with a fantastical invention, a gas that has a very peculiar effect on those who inhale or absorb it? it freezes them ...
Advantages: Not many at all Disadvantages: A very poor entry into the series
of regular co-stars, his girlfriend Tess Trueheart and his partner Detective Pat Patton, who always helped and hindered him in his crook catching enterprise.
DickTracyVsCueball is not that dissimilar a movie to the original eponymous titled one released the year before. Last time around a villain by the name of Splitface (Tracy was known for his bizarre villains) this time the denizens of the city are tormented by the bald headed Cueball.
Cueball is a thug, a hired henchman paid to ?relieve? a man of a fortune in diamonds. He goes a bit too far and kills the man, which unsettles his employers no end. Because of this they refuse to pay him for the diamonds that are now part of a murder investigation? an investigation led by the one and only DickTracy and his trusty assistant, and best friend, Pat Patton.
As Tracy tries to find the murderer ...
