Dick Tracy (Original Score) features Danny Elfman’s dynamic orchestral compositions for Warren Beatty’s 1990 comic-strip-to-screen adaptation. Known for his bold, brassy arrangements and signature gothic-meets-classic-Hollywood flair, Elfman channels a noir energy that matches the film’s hyper-stylized aesthetic.
The score is pulpy, fast-paced, and full of character—balancing whimsical motifs for “The Kid” and sultry themes for Breathless Mahoney with bombastic cues for crime chases and mob showdowns. It’s one of Elfman’s most cartoonishly cinematic works, blending 1930s gangster swagger with modern orchestral drama.
