Dick Tracy, Detective

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.

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.
