I love the old film noir movies and this was a good one. Superb acting and suspenseful story line.
Indubidubly 🙂
Richard Dix was wonderfully menacing in this one! When he smiles, he reminds me of Dennis Morgan. Enjoyable little thriller. Thank you very much for uploading.
Enjoyable movie. Wow, the behavior and trust of these people is certainly different from today! Getting into a stranger’s car on a street to “rest”, bringing a stranger home, the train man borrowing an unknown person his car. Not sure how the sister and Charlie put it all together but it was entertaining. Thanks for uploading this.
Worth watching.
Biggest difference to me was a little girl outside alone who talks to a strange man and accepts money for ice cream. Returns to find her kitten dead. 😳😲
I agree. Sounds like fodder 4 a horror movie.
These old films, people were groomed, elegant, articulate, and spoke with purpose. The world we let slip away...
We did not let slip away,..It was bound to change,....I also miss that world the forties,fifties and sixties , life was different it was great, we had our problems and solved them differently. Today there is anger, rage, distruss no family values and it will get worse as time goes on,...I won't be here....but I'm sorry for the new generation coming up ,...my memories and good times growing up will always be with me. Don't mean to spoil your day...........Anna Belle.
yes they are missed. sad. even if i think good times it saddens me. how can i make even good memories not hurt?
Nostalgia is a good thing for a while but we can't live in the past. With these old movies we can pretend that we're part of it for a time. It's not real life, just escapism. Change must occur or we might as well give up. Some things are better.
John Galvin, in today’s cities will anyone stop to help you if you almost get run over in the street? Can you, if reasonably needed, just get in a car for a rest or refuge, an unlocked car on a city street? Maybe so, I don’t know, haven’t been to New York in a while, other cities around the world treat people better than in many in the U.S. New Yorkers do seem to do a lot of good things for each other that they don’t even notice themselves doing, remember how they helped each other during the September event. And New Orleans after Katrina would have been much better without Federal troops and interference with people helping each other, organizing to distribute food and water and such, and in some areas making the electric utility put the electricity back on. We are given the impression nowadays that everyone is stumbling around with attention on their smart phones, my Dad called them idiot phones, texting if communicating at all and not even talking anymore, so I wonder. Do we realize we’re in this world together?
Fashion and style, class and manners.
I suppose this too trusting behavior was why in the mid-1950s our mother was always warning us not to take candy from, talk to or get in cars with strangers.
Yes we were told that In the sixties also!
The Whistler series sure does showcase Richard Dix in a variety of roles and he handles all of them well.
I think all of the Whistler movies are on RUclips (thank you) One thing is obvious, and that is that these are not low-budget efforts. Dix and the co-stars are outstanding actors. Even film score composers were famous in their day, like the Spanish composer Mario Casternuovo-Tedesco. I remember him from my days on radio when I had a classical music show every day. Even John Calvert, who played "Eddie Donnelly" in the Mark of the Whistler, had a career as a famous magician in his day. His debonair charm in that Whistler film is remarkable. Of course. Janis Carter needs no hyping up.
Oh my! What a great, suspenseful movie. Love it!
I don’t know why they keep saying this guy is handsome. He looks old and ugly to me. And I’m 66.
Well hes not exactly an older Harrison Ford, Jeff Bridges, Kurt Russell....whoever was hot when you were 24...33...42..56.!
See otro comment.
lol I second your motion
Excellent professional actors. The actors back then were true professionals that learned all the nuances of their lines perfectly!
They brought character and substance and knew their lines, not a few lines, as they now do, but their lines
And in some movies they had to be able to sing and dance as well as act especially later on in the 1950s
I sure wish a great many more of these Whistler films and TV productions were made. They were very fine. IMO they were every bit as good as the radio episodes, which have been hailed as one of the best and most popular radio dramas of its day.
Thank you!Have a great day!
Yay! Another Whistler movie I hadn't seen! Thank you! :-)
This was a really good movie had me on edge from the beginning to the end
Thank you for the Movie!
Scary movie, Richard Dix excellent as usual, Janis Carter gorgeous as always.....
Never should’ve been messing with trying to know : tell people’s “ future “
Good movie, TY for the upload! :-)
Richard Dix played in all the Whistler movies except the last one. The Whistler movies weren't the same without him.
“Please take my car “ the ticket man says to a total stranger. ...wow!
One of the great shows from the Golden Age of Radio..............starring many of the great Actors from Hollywood at the time extending into its' own television show.
Richard McLeod its
The Whistler intrigued people for many years during its' long run on radio, and even the short run on television.@@davidcopperfield408
Casting made the perfect decision for actor Richard Dix in the role of William Everest.
The entire cast is excellent. The story was great, well-written and completely cohesive.
I was on the edge of my seat a few times, and especially when the two motorcycle police officers stopped the car. I had no idea where the story was going from that point. Thrilling!
Ive heard somr old radio transcripts of The Whistler it was interesting to actually see the screen version thanx
I have loads of them Michelle. I actually prefer them.
A lot better than the summary would suggest. Gets very scary.
Dix had such a wonderful voice.
I have an Internet radio and I have heard these ' whistler's stories the are good plays with good twists.
Lost me soon after the death of the kitten. The blonde is pretty.
Never heard of the Whistler. Good movie. Thanx for sharing.
Pretty good. Richard Dix is great.
Found d movie boring stopped at 21.42 can't stand animal killers even in movies.
I loved this movie!
I love these Whistler movies. But, why on earth does she wait until the cops drive away before she starts asking the suspicious guy questions? She's begging to be a victim at that point, but that seemed to be the common formula of female victimology in old movies.
10:01 what a different time.....do that now you'd be arrested......back then no worries and they even give you a lift to where you need to go.
Thanks ❤
Excellent excellent
"You can't live in New York long in ignorance".
Clark Gable :)
Boy, at 57:00, I'm outta the car.
Interesting prediction and resolution.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
Still recall the theme song whistle... radio was king then.
Janis Carter was simply breathtaking. See her with Glenn Ford in 'Framed' (1947) & 'Woman on Pier 13' Robert Ryan/Laraine Day (1949)
One question: why would a doctor write a prescription for 'Poison' ?
The way he stole the jacket with the Dr's ID think he took the RX and wrote whatever he found he needed from the book. Many meds are poison like Botox for example. A large dose of any chemical could be potent and lethal. Couldn't tell you exactly what but in the old days they also used arsnic?
Ella, and Cocaine in Coke a Cola,,,,
I never considered medication to be poison before. But you're right, if that drug got taken by the wrong person it could kill them. @@ellamone9998
John Galvin, no when we think of meds it's always in a positive way. Now with all the side effects they list on the warnings it could also be used to kill someone :) Not that it would cross my mind... only in the movies lol.
we only see her physique once when in the bedroom with her sister...she's a knockout!
love black and white movie.it's better then what on tv now!
A bit far-fetched but pleasant watching anyway. Thanks for loading up.
I whisle everyday when I ride my bike on the greenway , to alert people ,better than a bell I wonder what I will learn about myself from the movie
If I had known that a cat, squirrel, & a bird would be killed I would never have watched this gruesome film!
Don't worry, a person will die sometime soon, and that should make you feel better.
I just knew that Jean Lang could handle it!
EXCELLENT MOVIE. THANKS!
Prakash Ghule are there others? I love the radio program . I saw another starring the same leading man .
Man that lady's Stupid...going all over country with a guy she barely knows and then not telling her sister about it.. at least inform her...well it's just a movie..but it is still frustrating when characters are made so fickle minded...lol....nice movie though
42:48 "I didn't mean to scare you"?
Well what in the world did he think her reaction would be when she walked into her dark apartment and someone grabs her in the dark?
I totally agree!
This film was very good. Too bad the lady that did his cards didn't tell anyone who this guy was. It would have helped Jean and her sister. Good story.
if the whistler keeps wandering about late night surely he will bump into the saint? also upset his mother seen in the famous painting did not appear!lol!
Thank you very much for this movie……… i am looking for « my forbidden past » with Janis Carter, Ava Gardner. Robert Mitchum…… thank for upload if by chance, you get it…………👍
Good ending! Having the sense to defend herself made up for her stupidity throughout the rest of the movie!
Oh my 5 Digit phone numbers those were the days hardly no one had a phone back then thus pay phones started out .05 call
Was that Nina McKinney as the lady's maid?
I didn't know there were Whistler movies. Awesome.
51:48 people are awfully easy going about letting people they've never met use their cars in this movie. There's another example of this at 10:00
OK a man looses his memory & a woman offers 2 help, but she doesn't take him 2 the hospital or police, but takes him home 2 her sister & everyone goes 2 SLEEP. Geez. I'd like 2 know what year this movie came out.
Sounds like a horror movie.
7:36 Did she just suggest that they sit and rest in a strangers car and that the owner would not object?
Nutty.
How did she not find that label when going through his clothes? Lol whoops plot hole.
Okay. I paused at 7:16. And was intrigued. I'll see where this goes.
A good little movie. Low budget, but good script& acting.
Weirdo enjoys killing small pets and animals by hand. I'm out of here! 😱
Nostalgia killed the rat!!!
It’s true, today people watch a lot more junk than in the old days. On top of the fresh garbage, they watch the old trash!!!
Saw another movie with the whistler by chance last week. Didn't know there was more than one. See a stranger in a cafe, flip a few cards and chase him outside? He acts like a nut and you invite him to spend the night? Hope no misinformed do gooder tries that today. Unless you want to be on the news.
very very very strange flick up to 22 minutes in.
Dix won’t be hired at petco
Nice
GIRLS NEVER BRING HOME ANY STRAYS!! lol LOVED IT
Loneliness is an ugly thing.
15 minutes in soo good.
A good enjoyable sory, pity about the voice-overs.
YES GOOD MOVIE...dont mix fiction with non fiction. And, don't try it at home.
Fought Dix. Remember when Richard Dix tried to take over this town?
Released April 19th,1945
"I thought a drink would clear my head...oops." Cuckoolandia.
I knew he was bad but I hoped he wasn’t. Lol
Women's intuition in those days was completely ignored & seen as 'emotional & hysterical & imaginative'.... Makes me angry. Awsome film tho..👍🏾
Awsome film! Who is the Whistler?! Is he like a God?
Lioness Princess Bear, not really, actually quite the opposite, especially compared to today when the idea of women’s intuition might be labeled, unfairly, as “sexist”.
@@CJ-hz1uj Everyone is driving everyone else CRAZY with this constant reinterpretation of EVERYTHING though the false premises of political correctness and woman-hating feminism. (that's right: feminists hate women: real women).
Gail Jarvis, almost seems like some kind of similar but alternate me wrote the comment, interesting that I wrote the comment, thank you for your understanding. People do seem to jump on each other without pausing to understand, perhaps more lately, so thanks for your kind reply.
@@CJ-hz1uj Yeah, it is shocking to someone who knew society from before the internet, it's all people jumping down other people's throats. Before, you had to deal with people in the real world who had different opinions and you found a way to deal with it. Think of Archie Bunker and Meathead --they dealt with their differences every day, but they loved each other.
I can’t believe that after one day she is ready to marry him.
26:57 So, at this point I have to wonder if the girls went back into the kitchen and ate the breakfast he cooked.
Oh, don't be a GOOSE!
I really like tese whistler films.. to bad the quality of the upload is so low., strains my tired old eyes.
Quality looks fine to me. It's not high def, but it's not bad.
@@srm818 No good definition. I see others with excellent definition, but not this one.
This movie is full of hysterical young women .
Let's just get into some random person's car to rest. Okay.
A kind of weird beginning ran through the whole film. This would not be a normal situation that happened in the real world.
I just could not understand even I am a criminal psychologist.
There's hope for you, Chain L. Not all psychologists are criminals.
@@waynerichards3115 It looks like you are not happy with psychologists.
Some of them are more likely to be patients other than criminals.
Many psychologists may have mental illness experiences to some degree that can be more helpful than a deficit.
The experience of psychiatric hospitalization may galvanize them to dedicate their lives to treating patients with similar disorders.
I had a psychiatrist friend who helped many celebrities with mental illness, but he committed suicide at the age of 36 with depression.
Hey.....let’s jump into a strange persons car and talk
Poor girls dating luck is a bad as mine!!!😂
in real life, women like her are always found dead because they neglect to understand a simple rule i.e leave those in hell alone. Sign after sign after sign that something is wrong & yet the vanity in the judgement over rides everything.
Durch und durch lächerlich, aber trotzdem spannend.
I need a prescription for poison but for some reason my doctor won’t give it to me.
Maybe I could help
I hear that's all they're giving today............
rat poison works pretty good
ANOTHER CHAPTER THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT THE RADIO STUDIO.
Everyone in this movie is so unbelievably gullible
He’s not a good looking guy either
Weirdo creeping up on someone while they prepare his bed and why was the little girl crying about her cat?
He had killed the cat too... like the bird and the squirrel later on...
I let strangers borrow my car too
lol ur funny
Wow, what a great movie constantly depicting normal human behavior in New Your City. I would do everything those people did. I think the kid who wanted the cake so bad must have written the script for the movie.
The only realistic part was the cop refusing to do anything - then he believes a car load of numbskulls - so much so he orders the guy killed on sight - at least there was some realism in the movie.
1:05:26 It's not that easy to kill someone.
THE CARDS ARE not ALWAYS RIGHT. Walk away n LEAVE all the goodies/cards on the table. YOUR FUTURE IS IN YAHS HANDS.
Batman is not real...
It was 1945, and the moral of the story was...don't trust strangers. Now, in 2020, the moral of the story in most movies is ALWAYS trust strangers. In fact, you can trust strangers more than other people. A warped perspective, to be sure.
maybe that's why Nancy Pelosi is delusional
I didn't like it, but in too far to stop, At least it ended well.
did he kill the kid's cat?
and the bird?
and the squirrel ?
The women were so hot back then. 😍
