It's definitely great to watch at a younger age, where its easier to ignore the awkward plotting. Hahaha, in a way, I think that's why I did like Madonna. It's bad, but for something like Dick Tracy, bad worked in her favor. Her lack of skills somehow makes her stand out more than Warren Beatty's serious-but-not-that-serious approach. The Blank,

I was thirteen when Dick Tracy came out, & became quite obsessed with it for reasons that are mysterious to me. I still have a nostalgic fondness for it, & smile when it is mentioned. I agree with many points you made above, in particular the inconsistencies in tone you described. The color saturation & makeup effects were first-rate though, & I think the overall quality of the production is high. I have to disagree with you concerning Madonna, though, as I hold her acting to be the worst in the film. The songs, as you said, were quite good, though (I have Sooner or Later running in my head as I type this), & Madonna's look & voice worked well. i"m not sure what knowledge I can impart, other than this: If you find yourself playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, this is a fantastic cast to be familiar with -- *everyone* is in here.
