	Dick Tracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Republic changed Tracy from a police detective to an FBI agent; Tracy's girlfriend, Tess Trueheart, was eliminated in favor of a simple secretary/lab assistant, Gwen Andrews; and Pat Patton, Tracy's colleague, was replaced by two characters, a bland sidekick, Steve Lockwood, and a goofy, child-man sidekick, Mike McGurk (played by Smiley Burnette).
		But even in 1937, the year Dick Tracy was made, the studios recognized that boys made up the largest part of the audience for serials and the girl-haters in the audience certainly wouldn't tolerate a girlfriend telling Tracy that he's her "bestest boyfriend," as she did in the comic strip.
		For example, Tracy and his crew discover that a crime note was written with a typewriter that uses a replaced letter "g." As a result, the FBI agents swarm over the city, looking for the typewriter.

		But with 1990's DICK TRACY he stumbled badly: although it received considerable hype and numerous critical accolades for its art and sound design, the film fizzled at the box office, and these days you are more likely to find the film in a retail bargain bin than in some one's personal collection.
		Dick Tracy is a wonderfully realized trip into a comic strip that stars Warren Beatty as the dedicated cop in the yellow coat, but Beatty doesn't just star as the lead, he's also the film's producer and director.
		Dick Tracy is a well acted, visually glamorous and stupendous movie-going experience that's a fun throw back to old film-noirs and jazzy detective yarns filled with blazing tommy guns and screeching tires.

		"Dick Tracy" is a movie that looked better in 1990, but still is entertaining and has interesting things, for instance, the production design, which makes that the movie feels like a mixture between a cartoon and a comic book.
		"Dick Tracy" is an amusing movie, specially for those who enjoy film adaptations for comic books, or for those who saw this movie when they were kids (like myself) and feel a bit of nostalgia.
		Although Beatty's performance as Dick Tracy is a bit dry, I believe the part called for it, the same goes for most of the characters.

	DVD Review - Dick Tracy
		Dick Tracy (Warren Beatty) is the city's number one crime fighting cop out to stop the gang of Lips Manlis (Paul Sorvino).
		Keeping in mind the aesthetic and historical context of the film, the over-the-top dialog is as juicy and tasty as a $20 steak, but every once in a while a character will spout out some idiotic line that would be unwelcome even in a Carrot Top flick.
		The most prominent example of this is Tracy's "Is the friend of my enemy my enemy?" verbal nonsense.
