When you see the name Dick Tracy you assume you are in for a good mystery movie, but unfortunately back in 1945 this 61 minute version played out more like a 30 minute TV sitcom rather than anything that near resembled a suspenseful or mysterious film. Actor Morgan Conway who plays Dick Tracy played him more like a vice principal taking care of some kid named Junior (now that is an original name eh?) played by Mickey Kuhn, his girlfriend Tess Trueheart (another original name) played by Anne Jeffreys and his detective sidekick Pat Patton, played by Lyle Latell.
Even in 1945, there were a lot more interesting crime/mystery films released such as Mildred Pierce, Crime, Inc., and Dillinger. If you like a certain type of burger, pizza, and/or beer just like you like a certain type of crime/mystery film then this film will not saisfy your appetite, it didn't satisfy me.
I give this version of Dick Tracy a poor 3 out of 10 rating
