Page THE HERALD Wednesday Jane 1IM Striking sets and costumes make Dick Tracy a hit By DIAHANN NADEAU Herald Special Visually stunning a sensualists dream of a movie Dick Tracy uses its comic strip origins to serve up some of the most striking sets and costumes weve seen in years Luscious vivid colors anchored by Tracys banana it looks good enough to eat give the movie its remarkable visual ap
