Video Explores Why DICK TRACY is The Most Bonkers Comic Book Movie Ever Made
I still think Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy is one of the best comic book film adaptations ever made. I love that film! I remember seeing it in theaters when it was first released and I even still have an original poster of the film signed by the artist.
This movie is so freakin’ wild and so fun and I’ve got a great video essay here for you to watch from Patrick (H) Willems that looks back at the movie and explores why the film is one of the most bonkers comic book films ever.
Warren Beatty not only stars in the film, but he also directed it. The movie also includes five original songs by Stephen Sondheim that were performed throughout the film by Madonna. While the film was a financial failure for Disney, it won three Oscars and is a lot more respected now than it was when it first came out. This video gets into all of this stuff!
There’s a lot of interesting information here regarding the film that I never knew before, so it might be worth checking out if you’re a fan of the movie.
