See everyone's favorite square-jawed flatfoot battle some of his most memorable villains in Roan Group Archival Entertainment's two-disc release containing some of Dick Tracy's most thrilling adventures. The Dick Tracy Collection contains
Dick Tracy, Detective (1945),
Dick Tracy vs. Cueball (1946),
Dick Tracy's Dilemma, and
Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (both 1947) in digitally mastered transfers from the original source materials, presented in their original 1.33:1 full-screen aspect ratios with Dolby Digital Mono audio. Rendering this collection as extensive as it is exciting is the inclusion of an interview with Dick Tracy creator Chester Gould, the all-star cast Armed Forces Radio program Dick Tracy in B Flat featuring
Bing Crosby as Dick Tracy, two commentaries by
Max Allan Collins, the writer of the long-running Dick Tracy comic strip and four radio broadcasts featuring the tough-as-nails crime-buster. Long before
Warren Beatty donned the trademark yellow trench-coat and matching hat, Dick Tracy was keeping the streets safe in these pulse-pounding classic films. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
