Director/star Warren Beatty is Chester Gould's comic-strip detective, fighting an array of grotesque villains in order to free the city from crime boss "Big Boy" Caprice’s (Al Pacino) grip. Madonna co-stars as singer Breathless Mahoney, who may or may not be Tracy's ally. Fantastic sets and make-up and jazzy Stephen Sondheim songs help bring the funny-page favorite to colorful life. Glenne Headly, Bill Forsythe, R.G. Armstrong, and Dustin Hoffman co-star. 105 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
