Dick Tracy (1990) is a visually striking crime film directed by and starring Warren Beatty as the titular detective. Based on the classic comic strip, the movie follows Tracy as he battles the grotesque mobster Big Boy Caprice (Al Pacino) and his gang while trying to balance his relationship with his loyal girlfriend, Tess Truehart (Glenne Headly). Featuring a vibrant, highly stylized color palette reminiscent of the original comics, the film is a love letter to 1930s pulp noir, blending action, romance, and campy fun. With a supporting cast including Madonna, Dustin Hoffman, and James Caan, Dick Tracy was a critical and commercial success, winning three Academy Awards and earning praise for its groundbreaking makeup and production design.
The film’s soundtrack, I’m Breathless: Music from and Inspired by the Film Dick Tracy, was performed by Madonna and features songs influenced by 1930s jazz and pop. With tracks written by Stephen Sondheim, including the Oscar-winning "Sooner or Later," the album captures the film’s vintage aesthetic while allowing Madonna to showcase her sultry, theatrical vocals. Danny Elfman also composed the film’s instrumental score, bringing his signature dramatic orchestral style to the crime-ridden streets of Tracy’s world. The combination of Elfman’s moody compositions and Madonna’s period-inspired pop made the soundtrack a significant part of the film’s appeal.
