Dick Tracy, Detektiv (1945)

RKO Piktura solli Dick Tracy komik karakter shirit në ekranin e madh ne Dhjetor 1, 1945. Ndërsa filmi është padyshim një “B” film për qëllim të jetë i pari në faturë të dyfishtë, ai ende do të ishte me interes për shumë tifozët e strip komik popullore. 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.

Në ky film (lidhje Filialin), Morgan Conway plays Dick Tracy. Conway played a number of supporting roles in films such as Charlie Chan në 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”. He also played professional football and basketball. 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.

Ky film shkon përafërsisht 61 minuta. I like Dick Tracy vs. Cueball better but this film is worth watching.
