Terrific! SPOILERS


I adore the B crime series movie output of the studios in the 30s and 40s. The folks with no budget or reputation go to work, continually entertain and sometimes inspire. "Dick Tracy's Delimma" is such a movie. Terrific performances in keeping with the comic strip behind the story. A wonderful villain from Jack Lambert as The Claw. Wonderful use of shadows. Poignant end to Sightless with the camera focusing on the winding down of the fan. Tracy chasing The Claw at the finale rival any chases in A level pictures.

Forty years ago John Rawlins, cast and crew went to work and created a little gem which stands the test of time. Applause, applause.
