Dick Tracy Yn cwrdd erchyll (1947)

Dick Tracy Yn cwrdd erchyll (1947) is one of the final entries (cyswllt Affiliate) yn “B” cyfres ffilm. Cymerodd RKO Pictures y gyfres drosodd o Weriniaeth Lluniau, a rhyddhawyd y serials Dick Tracy gwreiddiol ar ddiwedd y 1930au a'r 1940au cynnar. RKO Pictures rhyddhau y ffilm i theatrau ar Fedi 26, 1947. Daeth RKO Boris Karloff mewn i chwarae erchyll, 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.
