For the Budget Conscious May I Suggest..........2006-11-12

I just watched two of these Tracy flicks, Dick Tracy Detective and Dick Tracy meets Gruesome and both were pretty good. They are Universal productions so unlike a Monogram or similar studio, these have a decent production quality.
I wont review the movies here but if your a Tracy fan you'll enjoy them. I got three of these flicks on the 50 Movie Pack Mystery ASIN: B0001HAGTW here at Amazon, and it was half the price of this package, its only 3 of the 4 films but you get another 47 movies to make up for it and the prints were decent.

Dick Tracy: The Ultimate Collection.......2001-02-20

If you liked the Dick Tracy comics, you'll love these 4 films. The first 2 on disc 1 star Morgan Conway, a little known actor, who does look the part. The other 2 on disc 2 bring back Ralph Byrd who played the role in 4 cliff hanger serials in the 30s. Plus there are some nice little extras after each movie on each side of each disc. So put on your yellow trenchcoats it's time for some grade B mysteries of grade A caliber.

dont waste your money.......2007-06-07

i was very disappointed, it says complete, doesn't specify that it is only the 15 chapters..to me complete means complete not just one.5 discs is rediculous and very deceiving.at this price it should have been all the movies.live and learn i guess..the quality isnt that good . too pricey for what you get.

Dick Tracy.......2004-11-04

Containing three "classic" episodes from the 1950-51 television series "Dick Tracy," DICK TRACY is for completists or Tracy-philes only. Ralph Byrd, who'd played Tracy in serials and b-movies since 1937, stars as the square-jawed detective.
The three episodes are "Dick Tracy Meets Flattop," "Dick Tracy Versus Heels Beels," and "Hi-Jack." The bad guys, grotesque caricatures in Chester Gould's comic strips, are here simply a little odd. The original Flattop had a very wide, flat topped head. In this episode he wears an umbrella beret. Heels Beels is a short thug who hides stolen jewels in the hollow heels of his platform shoes. A really diminutive fellow in the strips, here he looks like Whitey from the Dead-End Kids. Short, but not grotesquely so. Hi-Jack steals cars. Yawn.
These episodes were filmed on cheap film stock by a director who apparently didn't believe in wasting film on a second take. The stories are talky, the action stilted, the stories' are silly. Some of the transfers look pretty rough. For whatever reason the three episodes are all missing end credits, so good luck figuring out who's playing the villains and secondary characters. The runtime information on the cover is a little misleading as well. It's not "approx. 90 mins." Rather it's closer to 70 minutes, each episode clocking out at about 22 minutes.
Fans of Ralph Byrd's Dick Tracy might get a kick out of this. Others should consider themselves duly warned.
