Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947)

Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947) is one of the final entries (enlace de afiliado) en “B” Ciclo de cine. RKO Pictures tomó el relevo de la serie Republic Pictures, quien dio a conocer los seriales originales Dick Tracy a finales de 1930 y principios de 1940. RKO Pictures estrenó la película a los cines el septiembre 26, 1947. RKO trajo Boris Karloff en jugar Gruesome, 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.
