Dick Tracy, Detective (1945)




Hello again. Day 2 of Dick Tracy Week brings you the first of four feature-length Dick Tracy films of the 1940s, Dick Tracy, Detective.

Dick Tracy, Detective features actor Morgan Conway as Tracy, looking for a hardened murderer named Splitface. Although not from the comic strip, Splitface is very much a typical Tracy villain with an unusual physical feature and bloodthirsty intentions. Like the cartoon series I discussed in my previous article, these films were syndicated to television upon the release of the Warren Beatty film in 1990. I watched every one of these when I was 15 and enjoyed each of them.

Enjoy!
