Not the greatest serial and not the greatest quality release! The serial is just weak! The villains are really pathetic and it really gets old seeing them get bettered by Tracy's crew episode after episode! Lots of action in every episode and if you can take Smiley Burnet's clowning and blundering it's a good time if taken in small doses. An episode a week would be ideal! This is a one disc issue so the video quality is not exactly sharp and clear but is acceptable for the material as well as the ... Read More

Brought back old memories...1948 Saturdays at The Codman Square Theater Dorchester, Mass. The cartoon, then the Dick Tracy Serial and intermission always brought forth the Duncan or Cheerio YoYo man and their weekly trick contest.

As serials go, this isn't bad, although it would be nice if the picture quality were a little less fuzzy. This is a very strangely constructed serial, unlike any other I can recall.

IF YOU ARE A SERIAL FAN... THEN THIS IS A GREAT DVD FOR YOU. THERE ARE ENOUGH CLIFF-HANGERS TO SATISIFY ANY BUFF AND IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE THESE OLD MOVIES MAKING A COMEBACK ON DVD. MARENGO FILMS HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF RESTORING THIS OLD FILM THE VIDEO PORTION IS NEARLY PERFECT AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO LOVES SERIALS.

DICK TRACY was a serial produced by Republic only six years after the popular comic strip hero made his first appearance in the Chicago Tribune- New York News Syndicate Newspapers. Throughout fifteen chapters the detective dueled with the Spider Gang whose leader was known as the Lame One. DICK TRACY was one of the better serials made during the 1930's.
Ralph Byrd had the role of Dick Tracy and the supporting cast included Kay Hughes, Smiley Burnette, Lee Van Atta and Francis X. Bushman. ... Read More
