' Dick Tracy series a minor classic
GLASSY from Page 11
Ranger guy Hank Kimball on “Green
Acres,” produced and stars in this
chcapie filmed in Louisiana. He and
Anthony Eislcy trek to an old shack
in the swamp to investigate some
murders.
There’s a coven of witches, a
warlock, elderly Burt Must and old
horror-movic/TV show host Sey
mour is in there somewhere. As late
as 1980, in a galaxy far away, this
film was playing as “Legend of
Witch Hollow.” Drunken “Green
Acres” theme whistles accompanied
by dueling Pat Buttram impersona
tions. It seemed funny at the time.
Other movies available on Beta
video include:
“She Devils on W heels” (1968)
Betty Connell, Ruby Tuesday.
A friend told me recently, “There
isa person that makes far worse films
than Ed Wood Jr. ever made.” I must
concur. The culprit’s name is Hcr
schel Gordon Lewis, the first man to
make gore films.
With a spare $20,000 or $30,000,
Hcrschcl cranked out insufferable
swill like “2,000 Maniacs” and
“Color Me Blood Red.” When it
comes to filmmaking, H.G. just
couldn’t do anything right. Nary live
minutes into “She Devils on Wheels’
someone practically knocks the
camera off the tripod. Our story
concerns the Man-Eaters, a group of
tough woman bikers who ride around
taunting the studs and having sex
while fully clothed.
They utter immortal lines like
“I’m gonna kill them dirty mothers”
and “Now look here, scum-bum.”
Lewis’s idea of humor reaches its
peak when the Man-Eaters siring
wire across a road and behead one of
their enemies. Funny.
“Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome”
(1947) Boris Karloff, Ralph Byrd.
Here’s just one of numerous seri
als or series of films that should be on
TV. “Dick Tracy vs. Cucball” is
perhaps the most ridiculous and un
Tracy films will be realized for what
they arc — fun, harmless little ch
capics that arc halfway faithful to
Chester Gould’s famous comic strip.
Few of the real bad guys from the
strip are used, though there are char
acters with names, like Spitface,
Filthy Flora and X-Ray.
Our story begins at The
Hangman’s Knot, where Gruesome
(Boris Karloff in a rather strange and
subdued role) plans crime with the
aid of special gas bombs that
temporarily freeze people. When
Gruesome’s sidekick is hospitalized,
Dick Tracy anticipates Gruesome’s
attempt to contact him and and dis
guises himself as the dirty little rat.
Gruesome goes to the hospital and
unwittingly tries to make off with our
hero, but bit player Lex Barker
(Hollywood’s Tarzan from ’49 to
’53) runs interference. Or as a local
Dick Tracy fan put it, “Dick Tracy is
nearly saved by Tarzan ... an inter
esting concept, to say the least.”
Several of RKO’s Dick Tracy films
arc also available at Shopko stores
for a nominal fee.
