The last film in 'The Whistler' series. 'The Whistler' started out as a radio programme in 1942 before transferring to the big screen in 1944. In all entries except this film the lead actor was Richard Dix but in this film he is replaced by Michael Duane who plays Theodore Anthony 'Ted' Nichols just about to get married to a French woman named Alice but she disappears before their wedding happens. His attempt to find her leads to a cruel conspiracy. This mystery film is a decent one and the cast acquit themselves well, particularly Lenore Aubert as Alice as she gets more entangled in the machinations of her first husband's family. One really sympathises with her. A proficient conclusion to the series.
In the film series 'The Whistler' only appears as a shadow to narrate the story and and frankly could have been dispensed with, not adding much apart from the whistling gimmick.
