Chris M he pacing wasn't too bad, drags a little. This was the first attempt of bringing a bad guy from the comic strip to life. Considering making up effects were in it's infancy and expensive. So they created a new character which I think was added to the comic strip later. But here's the downside to the new villain. He's not exactly a complex character. He's one note, give me the diamonds. The story is good but I can see why it was only 62 minutes. But the one thing is worth checking this out. Dick has a friend named Vitamin played by Ian Keith. I don't know if this character is in the comic strip but that's to Ian Keith, Vitamin steals every scene he's in. He alone makes this fun enough to check out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid entry in the Dick Tracy series but with Morgan Conway taking a turn as the homicide detective. This time, Dick is in pursuit of a gang of jewel thieves who spend all of their time double-crossing each other. Cueball may be low man on the totem pole but he's grit and grunt enough to knock off all of his colleagues. Of course, Tracy tracks him down in the end and he meets a gruesome death. The characterizations in small parts are interesting enough - although not really comic-book-like - to hold one's attention for an hour. Nothing more to be said. Other serials have stronger entries and lasted longer (on the big screen) but this was fine on a rainy night with a cold.
