DICK TRACY VS. CUEBALL is one of four fast-paced Dick Tracy movies made by RKO in the mid 1940s. These clocked in at just an hour in length and have plenty of death, adventure, and incident in them, so they don't tend to outstay their welcome. The memorable villain of this one is a hulking, bald former con who enjoys killing anyone who dares to cross his path.
Tracy - played by Morgan Conway instead of the usual Ralph Byrd - does his usual heroic stuff while wearing his trademark hat and teaming up with his usual allies. The women are glamorous and the bad guys are brutes, and everyone gets chased all over the city while peripheral cast members are bumped off. It's a cheap and cheerful affair, one which never becomes tiresome.
