Dick Tracy contre le gang (1947)

Dick Tracy contre le gang (1947) is one of the final entries (affiliate link) in “B” série de films. RKO Pictures a pris le relais de la série Republic Pictures, qui a sorti les feuilletons Dick Tracy origine à la fin des années 1930 et au début des années 1940. RKO Pictures sorti le film en salles le Septembre 26, 1947. RKO apporté Boris Karloff à jouer 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.
