Detective Dick Tracy joins Ben Mankiewicz and Leonard Maltin for a Zoom call to discuss his experience working on the 1990 film adaptation of his character. Dick expresses his disappointment with the film's portrayal of crime fighting, calling it unrealistic and more akin to a musical comedy than a serious depiction of law enforcement. He praises earlier portrayals of himself by Ralph Byrd and Morgan Conway, which he believes more accurately captured the spirit of his work. Warren Beatty, the director of the 1990 film, joins the call and Dick reiterates his concerns about the film's depiction of his character. Despite their differences, Dick and Warren agree to meet again for lunch.
