Rating:  - Dick Tracy vs. The Claw: Perhaps The Best In The 1940s RKO Film Series
Originated by Chester Gould's syndicated comic strip, Dick Tracy has been a durable cinematic character with appearances ranging from 1930s serials to an over-hyped 1990 blockbuster-style motion picture starring Warren Beatty and Madonna--but the character's film appearances are perhaps most fondly recalled from the 1940s RKO Pictures series. Written with stacco dialogue and seldom running more than an hour, they were welcome "B" movies at almost every matinee.

Rating: - Look Out For The Claw
Ralph Byrd returns as Dick Tracy in RKO Radio's DICK TRACY'S DILEMNA. Tracy is helped by Vitamin Flintheart (Ian Keith) as they match wits with a gang of fur thieves and a criminal named "The Claw" who uses his articial hand as a weapon. Jack Lambert has the role of "The Claw" and Kay Christopher plays Tess Truehart.The cast also includes Bernadene Hayes as Longshot Lillie and Jimmy Conlin as Sightless. The movie sometimes goes by the title of the MARK OF THE CLAW.
Rating:  - Fine picture, okay movie, no frills.
"Dick Tracy's Dilemma" is a pretty standard 1940s potboiler. Starring Ralphy Byrd as Tracy, the famed detective faces "The Claw" is this entry of the series. The movie is nothing special, but it's a fast paced, reasonably entertaining time-waster.
The no-frills DVD has sharp, not very scratchy picture. There are only four chapter links.
