Dick Tracy, Detective (1945)

Obviously not as elaborate as the 1990 Warren Beatty version, this Dick Tracy still manages to retain some of the comic strip sensibilities of its source material. Here Tracy must find the elusive 'Split Face' who is tracking down and murdering (spoiler) the members of a jury that once convicted him. This was a little more violent then I expected, but has good pacing and was, well, likable. Also it has Jane Greer. Grade: C
