The comic-strip crime-fighter Dick Tracy, created by Chester Gould, was part of the Saturday matinee serials, starring RaIph Byrd. In 1945, RKO revived the Tracy series, and Morgan Conway was chosen to portray Tracy in a pair of feature films: Dick Tracy Detective (1945) and Dick Tracy vs. CuebaIl (1946). RKO's earliest publicity photos posed Conway in profile, hoping to imitate GouId's square-jawed caricatures. AIthough Conway's' screen Tracy didn't resemble the print Tracy in the fIesh, Conway's dramatic interpretation was faithfuI; he gave the role a humbIe, businesslike quaIity while keeping with poIice procedure and is considered by many to be the best on screen Dick Tracy. Although Conway's Tracy was praised by critics as the closest to Gould's original concept, the public seemed to prefer Byrd, who returned in the roIe for the final two RKO features, Dick Tracy's DiIemma (1947) and Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947) (with screen Iegend Boris KarIoff (Frankenstein) spicing up the finaI RKO feature as the fearsome "Gruesome").
ln this brand new colIection from VCl Entertainment) Max AIlan ColIins (who took over the writing of the TRACY strip from Chester Gould, and went on to create ROAD TO PERDITlON) provides informative on-screen introductions to each film, exclusive to this VCl release!
