In your description, you wrote that Sondheim wrote the songs. Although Sondheim did write a few tunes for the movie, according to my sources, the "Calling Dick Tracy" song was written for the theme park show by Tom Child and Don Harper

@jimmymerced, hmmm. I thought I changed that a while ago. I remember a "Tom Child", I don't recognize the other name yet. Thanks for reading the description. :)

I didn't know Videopolis was around that long.

And it's weird how they promoted a movie that has Madonna having her chest blurred out when on television...

You mean in that black "dress" in her dressing room with Tracy?

I missed this when it was at the park. LOVE the bright comic-book sets and costumes!! Confused by the wretched music. Was there something wrong with the Sondheim songs and Elfman score???
