On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being poor and 5 being excellent, let me know what you think of this Dick.
Dick Tracy is a 1990 action-adventure film based upon the Dick Tracy comic strip created by Chester Gould in 1931. Warren Beatty directed, produced and starred in the leading role. The supporting cast includes Al Pacino, Madonna, Glenne Headly, Charlie Korsmo, Dick Van Dyke and Dustin Hoffman. The story mainly centers on detective Dick Tracy's battle with mobster Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice (Pacino) and his tangled love life with Breathless Mahoney (Madonna) and Tess Trueheart (Headly). In a subplot, Tracy encounters a street orphan going by the simple name of "The Kid," (Korsmo) to whom he personally becomes a father figure.
Development phase for the film had centered as far back as the early 1980s. It wasn't until the arrival of Beatty that the project initially started to move forward and was released in 1990. The film received mixed reviews (mostly positive) and was both a success at the box office and the Academy Awards. There, it picked up seven nominations and won three of the categories.
My rating: A modest 3. It was campy, but a good movie as a child. I remember Madonna looking fine as hell in this movie. I still remember Pacino as Big Boy. "TRACY TRACY TRACY, ALL I EVER HEAR IS TRACY"
OH SHIT I FOUND IT.
