Dick Tracy, Detective (1945)

RKO Pictures trouxo o personaxe de cómics Dick Tracy á pantalla grande en decembro 1, 1945. Mentres a película é, en definitiva, un “B” filme feito para ser o primeiro en tocar dúas veces, inda sería de interese para os moitos fans do cómic populares. Chester Gould created the strip in October 1931 for the Detroit Mirror. He wrote and drew the comic until 1977. It reached world wide distribution through the Chicago Tribune.

En este filme (enlace de afiliado), Morgan Conway plays Dick Tracy. Conway played a number of supporting roles in films such as Charlie Chan en Reno (1938). His portrayal of Dick Tracy is a little more hard nosed than Ralph Byrd’s. Byrd played Dick Tracy in the earlier serials and in two of the later films. Film distributors and fans preferred Byrd but Chester Gould preferred Conway in the role.

This film sees Dick Tracy investigating a number of seemingly unrelated murders. Dick does not know that Alexis Banning aka Split Face is out of prison and exacting revenge on the innocent and guilty alike. The inimitable Mike Mazurki plays Split Face.

Mazurki was a professional wrestler, who stood 6’05”. Tamén xogou ao fútbol profesional e ao baloncesto. A college graduate, who started the Cauliflower Alley Wrestling Club after his retirement, he had over 100 films to his credit. Mazurki, who was born in Austria Hungary on Christmas Day 1907, died a few weeks before his 83rd birthday on December 9, 1990.

Esta película é executado aproximadamente 61 actas. Gústame Dick Tracy vs. Cueball mellor pero esta película paga a pena visionar.
