| User ReviewSteve GProbably my favourite of the Tracy serials. This was the most interesting. The most in-depth & psychological in terms of villainy. Conway had a Bogey-esque edge about him. Love the B-movie noir stuff! MAN, I wish they made more than just 4 of these! It's somewhat intended for youth, yet is incredibly dark & manic & sinister. It never gets old to me. |
| User ReviewDuncan WI have this as disc 3 in my 5 disc version of the 1990 Dick Tracy movie! |
| User ReviewMuffin MI own this on DVD in a two movie pack along with: * Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947) |
| User ReviewJames HRoutine Dick Tracy entry into the series. A very well cast Cueball helps things out. Good fun. |
| User ReviewAllan CI liked this one a little better than the first in the series, mostly because to rogues gallery of characters seemed a bit more extensive and broadly drawn, which added to the film's fun. |
| User ReviewJeremiah Zrealisation hollywoodienne classique mais efficace, de plus, le personnage de Cueball est un peu plus developpe que les mechants des autres episodes |
| User ReviewBen RNot a good movie. Still, its passion is admirable. |
