Beatty is a fantastic actor and has practised skill with art direction, characterization, and theme identification. Dick Tracy is a beautifully made film, with many fine performances (some rather small) by familiar actors. The characters of this film bring about a strong nostalgia for a time of purer ideals... even for those of us who have never known such a time. You just can't beat Dick Tracy for upstanding street hero.
