When I was a kid, (late 30' early 40's) our local theater had a 1pm Saturday matinee. Double feature, three cartoon, one chapter of a serial, and what seemed like a year's worth of previews. It was great. You could cheer and boo and if you brought your cap gun (and we all did) help the good guys catch the bad. I saw this wonderful movie then. When I watch it now, I regret I no longer have a cap gun, but I am thinking of getting one. I can't thank you enough for helping an old man be 12 again.
Jay Francis how old are you ? 100 ???
Cool story! Thanks!!!
Awwwww☺
I remember them well. I can almost smell the smoke from the caps☺
@@baroneb5043
You will be too before you know it, if all goes well anyway.
When I was very young, my dad made me watch these Tracy films with him. According to him, "You'll never take me alive, coppers!" was my first full sentence. Thanks, dad.
good movie. That guy that played Cueball did a good acting job
You know what I love about these films? Their corniness, but they're so entertaining. The names for the characters are hilarious. Jules Sparkle, the gems dealer, Cueball the bald headed villain, Little, the mousy diamond cutter, and the antiques dealer, Percival Priceless.
I bet it wasn't considered corny or campy back then. Lots of present day films we consider cool or realistic will someday be considered corny too but still entertaining for some.
Tough town to grow up in when your name is Jeffery Cadaver.
@@jojodizon2829 i heard movies back then had men acting like men
But modern movies show men acting like needy beta male dumbasses which i understand DOES NOT WORK IN REAL LIFE!
I agree with you, the names are the best and super cheesy. Makes it a lot if fun.
I tease my wife sometimes, like if she takes cash out of my wallet I'll call her "sticky finger Malone" haha
It was like that in the comics. What about B.O. Plenty? Tess Trueheart? Or Dick (slang for policeman) Tracy for that matter.
Ian Keith as Vitamin Flintheart was the comic strip drawing come to life, right down to his poses and hand gestures.
One of the best! Really! Watched it many times over.
We had no movie theater any near us and TV was unheard of, but the Sunday Star had Dick Tracy! Even my mom got in on the comic strip! Great to watch the series, so much silliness and yet a plot and drama! It doesn’t get much better!
Mr. Sparkles, the jeweler, to funny! A bald guy called Cueball! Lady Casserole! 🤣😂😅These writers had to have a great time writing these scripts! Even the signs are a crack up. The clues to humor are everywhere!
Thank you for posting these little gems!
Great Film Noir. Cueball is classic bad guy. Calls the other guy a "dirty double crosser", you know your in the right place.
_you're_ not "your"
@@coloradostrong8285 Thanks. I get messed up on that one and "you're" right. I need to do a little better.
The clothes were fantastic in this movie. Morgan Conway was amazing in this role. Better than Warren Beatty😊
My grandparents owned this on VHS and I watched it in the early 90's. Good times.
This is so AWESOME!! A lot of people my age will enjoy these… Thank you sooo much❤
what a great movie, thanks for the upload
I Love this old Movies!!! Thanks Classic Movies!
Black and white movies are the best! The clothing styles of the thirties and forties beats anything we wear today. Women were women and men were men. Video pollution has ruined everything. Too bad.
You hit the nail right on the head! I grew up in this era and it was great. In those days we didn't hve cell-phone-zombies running around.
Mr.California nah you just had Jim Crow laws
Most racist white people love that era smh....
@@EddieBlanks what a stupid thing to say!! Gosh!! Apologize..
Yeah
Now the movies you see today have men acting needy, basically doing things a women in real life does NOT want
This is a good movie. I was surprised. The scene with Vitamin, Ian Keith, posing as a buyer was hilarious. 23:32 All his scenes are funny.
I thought Dick Tracy's Dilemma was boring, and I didn't watch all of it. This one was interesting and funny at times. It held my attention. But compared to the comic strip, the wrist radio is missing.
Cue Ball had the best skull-cap I've ever seen!
+David Rice uhh... wasn't he bald(?!)
Damn, I thought he was wearing a Yarmulke. So it's a skull cap. I need to get me one of those. No more sun burn on my bald head. Maybe even a tiny little one for Blacks beach. (Google it) As John Cadogan (google and watch it) says got to keep thing safe 'down there'. 😯😉☺
Have to love how many times someone peeks through a window or vent just as the inside person does the deed
Great film nourish adaptation of a comic strip classic. Five stars in my book. Loved the villains’ names.
I still say George Raft would have been perfect for portraying Dick Tracy.
Love this Noir comic book stuff
This was Morgan Conway's 2nd time portraying Dick Tracy. After this, the next 2 Dick Tracy Movies starred Ralph Byrd in that role.
Great sign--The Dripping Dagger.
Like a venereal disease
@@theoblablankenstein8038 Sounds like a porn movie
A jeweler named Sparkle, classic.
First name Jules. :)
10:10 Skelton Knaggs ("Rudolph") is so great in this. Absolutely creepy.
@ScreamingScallop I'm 37 and first saw this on VHS when I was maybe 9 or 10 and remembered feeling slightly uneasy the first time I saw Dick Wessel (the actor who played Cueball), whom I thought had a very powerful presence and forceful personality. I've seen several of these old black and white Dick Tracy movies and none of the other villians gave quite the same vibe to me. In my opinion, it just shows the excellent performance Dick Wessel gave in his role! Of the 4 RKO Radio Dick Tracy productions, this one's definitely my favorite with Dick Tracy, Detective (1945) a close second.
Skelton was also in "Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome." He has a more prominent role in that movie, here he just has a few scenes. He also died at 43, and he's about 34 or 35 here! Sadly, his alcoholism got him.
Cueball is an excellent villan
@Matthew Carmichael Rather intimidating, too!
To bad he wasnt in the 1990 version
OMG I LOVE Dick Tracy and the Shadow; the Phantom, Flash Gordon, Sky King... Do you have those too? Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection with us. So much better than the insipid programs they show now.
fyi, there are 11 new found Shadow radio shows being released for the 1st time since the 30s!
Seems a lot of people love dick ! Lol 😋😊
That was hilarious. Dick Tracy's reputation is kind of a chumps reputation as his better was repeatedly hindered by sheer happenstance. I only read the Sunday comics in the 70's so I didn't realize he was supposed to be so farcical. Quite amusing.
Great film, very riveting. Anne Jeffreys was a bombshell to say the least! Good lookin' dame!
I love the old movie dames haha
Good one Timeless. Had never seen a Dick Tracy crime drama. Not sure I'll watch another one - but one never knows. Thanks for the oldies.
Cueball doesn't "sound" like a mean person at times!
Actually, some fairly decent acting, considering the genre. LOVE this old garbage.
Garbage? You're probably a Fast and Furious fan and it's 20 sequels. Talk about movies for intectuals 😂😂😂😂😂
"My old friend Lady Casserole; upper Norton on Tinewood slez hollow oatfield by sea north east of Nottinghamshire... In Merry old England".
Fine Gems - sold by Mr Sparkle.... yeah ok lol man I love these old movies...thx for posting them
This is my favorite one.
Fun film, great copy. Thanks for posting!
Filthy Flora is wonderful. She has played a lot of enjoyable roles. My favorite is "Born to Kill" 1947
I really liked this film.
Did anyone else notice all the pretty jewellery around Anne Jeffery’s neck during this film. A pretty lady and a great actor sadly missed....
Great old movie with a fantastic group of characters.Never got to see any of these movies.Think there were the earlier radio version in the 40s? Thanks for sharing.Any more Dick Tracy movies available?
The Dripping Dagar ... that's funny.
+RobertJ1966 .. Yeah, THAT's where I wanna party!
I was born in 1947. This should be a treat. 🤗
Hearsay. Do you remember it?
So sad there's never been any strong, smart female characters before Captain Marvel... oh wait, there were millions.
Oh stop...this is post WWII. DIfferent era.
There are not strong, smart female characters after Captain Marvel.
Harley Quinn is popular because of her outfits and that has to kill the beasts on the view.
@@teej783 Outfits?!? I just love her for those excellent tits, and tight ass!! Who cares about her outfit. If she took it off, I would like her even more!! XD
They do not care about numbers as long as there are 51%. But, not quotas please.
Great video and sound quality
GREAT MOVIE
Filthy-Flora makes this DT version the classic best of DT features. Her drooping eye was really scary while she was getting the knotted rope. I kinda wish DT would have made Conway's career but he was not resigned to play the part and was shortly out of the business (selling real estate in New York). All the actors create great characters, led by Conway who appears to really have embraced the role. What's Obama got to do with these splendid Saturday afternoon delights?? I never noticed how really violent these features were, but it was all in the name of good over evil when we were a young and very naive nation.
Charlie Chan
10:11 Skelton Knaggs. Creepy as all hell..
+Mo "Yes... isn't he, though?"
Fitting for the role, certainly. He was in a good bit of 1930s - 1950s stuff, but he was usually uncredited, like in "Isle of the Dead" where he had a minor role the first plague victim to die. He had a more prominent role in "Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome," though.
He also died at 43 of his alcoholism; Cirrhosis of the Liver. He looks older than he really is in this movie - he was born in 1911, so depending on when the movie was filmed, he was 34 or 35.
Anne Jeffreys from the old 'Topper' TV series.
Smokin Hot!
I’m 47 and this cool stuff 👍🇨🇦🚚

In early '60s here. Dick Tracy was just a little before my time. But since I like film noir and b&w flix, thought I'd give this a whirl. Not bad. Not bad at all. Realized the comic book-ness by the jeweler's name. Ha!
Movies for kids! Smoking, drinking, loose women, murder... Ah, back when things were better. Not like today, with, um, video games, and, uh, um, kids today. Something about the music they listen to? "Millennials"? Um... healthcare?
Awesome
Love the part where Cueball gets creamed by the Southwest Chief....BAM!
Why didn't he just take his shoe off? Of course then he would have to hop around like the skit between Archie and the Meathead.
@@tommytruth7595 There was not much time but I thought the same thing
-Bam and lights out for old baldy.MORAL of story. Don't mess with locomotive's.
@@Magnetron33 There _was_ enough time for him to take his shoe off, if he was wise to the fact of how to get out of such a situation. But it's still a realistic situation and outcome for one who isn't _really_ paying close attention or thinking of how to escape bad situations.
good movie
Anne Jefferys went on to act as a ghost on the TV series Topper as Mary??
Nevertheless these movies are really entertaining.
Jason is shown to be extremely intelligent and high-functioning, while possessing some tactical sense and strategic planning despite his hydrocephalic deformities. He lays traps for his victims as seen in Part 2, can be seen restraining victims to avoid detection, and he carefully arranges the bodies of his victims, occasionally using them as blockades or projectiles. His sense of direction is perfect, as he is always able his way wherever he wants to go, usually back to Crystal Lake even from long distances. He can escape all manner of bonds. Every one of his kills is unique, and he always finds creative ways to get to his victims as well.

there's no tech! where's the wrist radio?
Poor Trevor Burnette. He's A murder victim in the first Tracy and a murder victim in this one too. He should have stayed with westerns.
Awesome!

That Cueball was quite a Character.
@49:39 now wait a minute!? I ain't gonna be left holdin' th'bag, gimme the dough, gimme the $4,100 bucks!
Well, you have got some brains after all!
Nevermind the cracks, gimme th' dough!
I grew up with the cartoon.

Friends, Romans, countrymen will crime never cease? I'll leave now!
Darn, for a sec I thought it was gonna be animated.
As soon as I can, I am headed for Ebay
A couple others from the comic strip: B O Plenty and his daughter, Sparkle Plenty.
Yes, there were some colorful names in the comic strip and movies.
don't forget B O Plenty's wife Gravel Grertie
Yeah, that's another one.
Perfect 🎉
I like how he said the letter O instead of the number 0 in Box 520 - Desert city while reading out for the type writer 😆
Almost 80% of americans say O as a zero
@@chrishuffman5829 yes sir, ALOT of uneducated kids these days
Ok this is all NEW to me.
Epic.
" five hundred bucks, why you dirty old bag"
IMPASOBAL, FOR HIM TO BELIEVE ANY KIND OF PUNISH FOR ABORTION, HE HIMSELF HAS NOT BEEN PUNISH FOR HIS SLOT OF HIS WRONG, SO HOW HE EXPECT TO PUNISH ANYONE . UNBELIEVABLE, MERCY WHAT AN UNFIT QUESTION TO HIM. ☹️
I was just talkin' bout this... True story.
Ask Lol Dick Tracy TH-cam
Nice looking dames in this.
I think that Mrs Sparkle might've been having it off with Mr Sheen.
Dick Tracy's watch . Yeah!!! I wear one..
Thanks for the upload.
a "cueball" (with a) dripping dagger - ultimately babang'd by a train full speed facefront - to pair arrested. *FIN*

Hello! Does anyone can tell me if this movie is in public domain (royalty free)? Thank you!!
It's the professor from the previous movie being murdered right away! Clearly a lack of low budget actors around RKO in those days...
Good one! I didn't notice. One reason to watch movies in order. lol
Did you notice the assistant in the antique store was the mortician in the previous movie?
@@lyndatuttle No, I did not. That is too funny!😄
@@lyndatuttle The antique store assistant is Milton Parsons. He was in 3 out of 4 of these Dick Tracy RKO movies. He was also in 2 Charlie Chan movies earlier on.
Did anyone else notice that "Mr. Little" is played by Byron Foulger? He was in heaps of movies, too. I'll be watching random 1930s - 1950s movies, and then he just pops out of nowhere. He's in "Ministry of Fear," "Quiet, Please... Murder," "The Panther's Claw," "The Black Raven," and "He Walked by Night" to name a few.
Great
I love it!
Forgot where I was at watching this
"Mr. Sparkle" 😄✨✨✨✨
