Dick Tracy has the utmost respect for its source material as well as the surrounding influences. Outside of its visual loyalty to Chester Gould's comic, Beatty took notes from classic Hollywood thrillers of the 30s and 40s. He peppered Dick Tracy with quirky editing wipes, dutch angles, torch song numbers, stylistic montages, and a simple black and white morality to match its light-hearted tone. The movie’s genuine attempt to marry its 30s setting with a classic Hollywood style amounted to a rich, original and nostalgic picture that is rarely seen in big-budget cinema.
