Split diopter in CURSE OF THE DOG GOD (Ito, 1977)

Obsessed with DICK TRACY SPECIAL, Beatty using a 30 min rights maintenance TV special to implicitly admit ideological reasons for treating Dick Tracy as a spoof, by playing The Immortal Spirit Of Chester Gould's Dick Tracy as a fundamentally unserious law-and-order conservative who doesn't get it
