Dick Tracy Meets Grusame (1947)

Dick Tracy Meets Grusame (1947) is one of the final entries (Koste skakel) in “B” film-reeks. RKO Pictures het die reeks oor van Republiek Pictures, wat die oorspronklike Dick Tracy tydskrifte vrygestel in die laat 1930's en vroeë 1940's. RKO Pictures vrygestel van die film te teaters op September 26, 1947. RKO gebring Boris Karloff in Grusame te speel, one of Dick Tracy’s arch nemesis.

Ralph Byrd reprises his role of Dick Tracy. Byrd played Tracy in Dick Tracy’s Dilemma (1947) and the four Republic Pictures serials. While I preferred Morgan Conway as Dick Tracy, Byrd also does a good job in the role. A little more brawny than Morgan Conway, he can credibly play Detective Tracy as a tough guy.

Boris Karloff steals the show as Gruesome, a recently paroled criminal, who partners with a chemist to commit bank robberies. Karloff is his menacing best as the cunning and cruel Gruesome. Pat Patton is no match for the recent parolee.

Like most of the Dick Tracy films, this one runs about an hour, moves at a good pace and is good fun.
