Movie Reviews of Dick Tracy - 15-Episode Serial
Movie Review: Nostalgia
Summary: 5 Stars
Brought back old memories...1948 Saturdays at The Codman Square Theater Dorchester, Mass. The cartoon, then the Dick Tracy Serial and intermission always brought forth the Duncan or Cheerio YoYo man and their weekly trick contest. The winner would always get that coveteted new YoYo with the jeweled inserts. This Dick Tracy Spider Gang serial is as I remember it, and I can't believe I have forgotten so much. The whole cast was outstanding. Some of the effects are pretty campy to say the least, like the flying wing with the criminals firing lever action rifles at the pursuing lawmen. In Chapter 6 the submarine is by far the funniest, looks like it was carved out of a block of wood and dragged through a fish tank. Whaddya expect this was 1937, right? The display quality of this DVD on my 1080i @ 16x9 is the best rendition I have seen in a long time. Where did they get a 'master' with that quality? If you are a Dick Tracy serial fan get this one, you will love it. Get out the popcorn 'cause from start to finish it's 330 minutes long.
