Dick Tracy (1937)
Watched episode 3 in the serialisation of "The Fur Pirates" out of curiosity and obviously, it was very dated. Ridiculous cliff-hanger of course to make cinema goers come again to see what happened next and how Dick got out of the certain death debacle.
Sadly he wasn't wearing his television wrist watch, which always fascinated me when I was a sprog reading the comics and scoffing in my 1950s naivety that no such thing could ever exist - after all just look at the size of our enormous wooden cabinet cathode ray tube TV sitting there in the corner of our lounge!
