Dick Tracy, Detective

Flat and uninteresting plot, bad acting, but it really does have a comic book feel and the action sequences are better than the average for the era.

From the 1930s to the 1950s, the face of Dick Tracy was Ralph Byrd. However Morgan Conway stepped in for a couple of pictures in 1945-46. His career climax, yet he was only serviceable in the role. RKO's first feature in the franchise was a easy fun time. Tight enough action flick of the B-variety with a credible looking villain in former pro-wrestler Mike Mazurki with a lovely scar added on. Exactly what you'd expect from a serial, except they formatted it in form of a hour long feature.
