Subject: One of the good B's
Karloff gives a fine performance here, everyone does really except Ralph Byrd. There are some genuinely chilling moments and all-in-all this is the best of the B-movie Dick Tracys.

Reviewer: gentle ben - [2.0 out of 5 stars] - February 25, 2006
Subject: Standard B-Movie fare
Boris Karloff in the flesh as a villain (Gruesome), rather than wearing mountains of makeup, is the only thing remotely interesting about this film. There are the standard Chester Gould character names, Professor A. Tomic and his assistant professor I.M. Learned, X-ray, Dr. Lee Thal, Tess Truehart (Dick's girlfriend), and Melody Fiske (a piano player gone bad).

There is a bit more comedy in this film than in Dick Tracy's Dilemma, but it can't save the story. The ending is especially inane with Dick allowing himself to be rendered unconscious and immobile and taken away unarmed by the heavies. He almost gets fired for that mistake.

The characters include a Professor A. Tomic and his assistant I. M. Learned; there is also a taxidermy firm called Y Stuffham.

Such indicates the level of this hokum which is saved from total disaster only by Karloff.
