	Dick Tracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The character of Dick Tracy is a hard hitting, fast shooting, and supremely intelligent police detective who has matched wits with a variety of often grotesquely ugly villains.
		Tracy's world is decidedly fl and white where the bad guys are sometimes so evil, their very flesh is deformed to announce their sins to the world.
		Gould changed Tracy with the times, sometimes with mixed results as with the introduction of science fiction elements such as the two-way wrist radio which proved to be the first of a variety of personal wrist communicators and other futuristic gadgets provided by the eccentric industrialist, Diet Smith.

		In Dick Tracy’s Dilemma, the detective is up against a baddie known as The Claw for the steel hook he has in place of a hand.
		Dick Tracy—he’s stoic and hard-nosed, with a protruding jaw and a stiff upper lip, always dressed dapper in yellow trench coat and fedora hat.
		Even with no budgets, the Dick Tracy serials are fun adventure yarns filled with memorable characters that will leave you cheering for the good guys, booing for the bad guys and applauding Dick Tracy’s strong arm of the law.

		As it is, whenever Dick gets the least bit cozy with Tess, the sound of the two-way wrist radio (gadgets, America's true passion) is heard, summoning him to make war against crime instead, the archetypal case of noncoitus interruptus.
		Known at first only as the Kid, the sole name he answers to, he saves Dick's life in the crime wars and is rewarded with a police badge and a certificate proclaiming him Dick Tracy Jr.
		This is a Tracy for the Nineties, which is also why his profile cannot be that famous meat cleaver with a small, square bump on it (an epicleaver?).

	Film/Classic: Dick Tracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Dick Tracy was a newspaper comic strip detective created by Chester Gould.
		This movie has deconstructed the comic strip and reassembled it as a highly imaginative and very beautiful montage that has a limited, but extremely vivid palette of colors.
		To a great extent, "Dick Tracy" is more of a love story than a gangster thrillah and it is hard to believe that Madonna loses out to Headley but that is consistent with the film's innocence/purity.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Dick Tracy \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Tracy is the top-notch homicide detective for a generic 'berg that looks like both Manhattan and a brighter, lighter version of "Batman's" Gotham City, with everything painted in bold primary colors.
		Tracy is better with a gun in his hand chasing a gangster down the street than with hearts and flowers.
		On the whole "Dick Tracy" is a lot of fun, and fans of the offbeat may embrace it as a unique film amid a sea of movies that seem cloned from each other.

		The fact that Dick was tough as nails and always got his man was something to look up to, although I never cared for the casting of Warren Beatty in the role I also love the bright reds, yellows and blues of the movie at least giving it a brilliant comic book look.
		Dick Tracy (1990): Legendary police detective Dick Tracy is the only man tough enough to take on gangster boss Big Boy Caprice and his band of menacing mobsters.

		"Dick Tracy" was the first of three serials based on Chester Gould's popular comic strip produced by Republic Pictures in the late 30s.

	Dick Tracy, Police Detective Trivia
		Dick Tracy is a no-nonsense, sharp shooting, and highly intelligent police detective who battles a variety of colorful villains in this vintage comic serial that is enjoyed by many to this day.
		The villains were increasingly exaggerated in power to face Tracy's technological advances, and the story veered away from its original urban crime drama beginnings.
		The Apollo 11 moon landing saw Dick Tracy return to earth and by the 70's Gould modernized Dick Tracy by giving him longer hair, a mustache and a hip new associate, Groovy Grove.

		Surrounding himself with some great setpieces and a barrage of well known names, 'Dick Tracy' was released to a somewhat underwhelming response.
		Dick Tracy (Warren Beaty) is the top detective in town (never caught the name), and he's out to take down the top crime boss in town, Big Boy Caprice (Al Pacino).
		The truth is that this movie is a witty, silly, charming, lovely romantic fantasy of a stylized world, and the apparent ricketiness and quaintness of the scenery is, I believe, intentional.

	Dick Tracy Review (1990) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One of them, Flattop (William Forsythe), leaves a message on the wall of the building for the gangsters' biggest enemy, Dick Tracy (Warren Beatty), who at that moment is attending an opera with his girlfriend, Tess Trueheart (Glenne Headley).
		His Tracy comes across as being unsure of himself, particularly in his attitude to the women in his life; it's that old cliché of being married to his job and having no time for his girlfriend, as Tess mopes about feeling neglected.
		While Dick Tracy is lavishly designed, and the supporting cast are ideally chosen, its hero is a man out of time and the film suffers for it.

		Who knows, maybe without Madonna a Dick Tracy movie would be watchable but Warren Beatty may be becoming crazy on par with Mel Gibson.
		"Dick Tracy 2" would suffer from having to reintroduce everyone all over again (and didn't a lot of the recognizable gangsters end up dying in the first movie anyway?).
		Dick Tracy is the only guy I know who has a more bizarre rogues gallery than Batman.

		When this movie was released on video, I bought it almost immediately.
		For me it was one of those situations where you reveal to someone that you haven't seen a certain movie that they (my cousin) loved and then they make you watch it.
		I saw Dick Tracy only once and that was back when videocassettes were the thing, and I don't remember a stinking thing.

	Dick Tracy - DVD
		Legendary police detective Dick Tracy is the only man tough enough to take on gangster boss Big Boy Caprice and his band of menacing mobsters.
		Comment: The movie was okay.The soundtrack and special effects were fantastic.Al Pacino as "Big Boy Caprice"was very good.My only problem was the villians didn't get more exposure,and Michelle Pfeiffer should had gotten the role as Breathless Mahoney.Also,the movie should had have more storyline from the comic strip series.But overall,I still give it a passing grade.
		Comment: When Tim Burton released "Batman" in 1989, producers at major movie studios were scouring for a film based on a comic strip character that would cash in on the success of that previous movie.

	Movie Review: Dick Tracy
		Jason P., Needham, MA Academy award-winning Warren Beatty plays "Dick Tracy," a cartoon character who is brought to life in the motion picture "Dick Tracy." While trying to solve a crime, Tracy is plunged into a situation where a witness won't testify.
		Although the movie itself lacked that special "Roaring Twenties flair" and the story line seemed somewhat superficial, the special effects and set designs were impressive.
		This movie receives a "thumbs up" review and I hope this is the big break in Madonna's career that she has been looking for.

		June 18, 1990 -- ``Dick Tracy'' isn't just another comic strip character brought to the screen like ``Superman'' or ``Batman,'' it is the creation of a whole new movie world.
		The fine musical score is written by Stephen Sondheim and Madonna does a fine job singing in a style light years different that the pop music she is known for.
		While Batman was dark and brooding and dominated by evil characters, Dick Tracy is bright and electric, with surprising complexities and plot twists.

		In sheer visual terms, this is the most convincing of the comic book movies that have been popular for the last decade or so.
		Surprisingly sweet and good-natured, DICK TRACY is a highly stylized piece of fluff that's easier to digest than the ponderous pretensions of the equally over-hyped BATMAN.
		Handsome, hardworking detective Dick Tracy is hot on the trail of crime boss Big Boy Caprice (played with gusto by a nearly unrecognizable Al Pacino) who has taken the entire underworld syndicate of the city away from Lips Manlis (Paul Sorvino).

		There is probably no film of the late 20th century that more powerfully proves the old adage, "If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage." Every single production element here is superior, from the makeup effects to the costumes, to the supporting players such as Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, and Glenne Headly.
		In fact, from a strictly visual point of view, Dick Tracy (1990) is probably one of the best-made films of the decade, featuring a crew of skilled artisans at the top of their collective game.
		The hard emphasis is clearly on the "noble" in "noble failure," but Dick Tracy just doesn't quite work.
