The Whistler, the unseen mystery-story narrator of radio fame, relates
another tale that he's gleaned from 'walking by night' in Mark of the
Whistler. Richard Dix stars as a drifter who poses as the owner of an
unclaimed bank account. Dix's new identity brings him nothing but misery
as he falls victim to the actual claimant's startling secrets, lost loves and
dangerous enemies-including one bent on killing for revenge. The
second of Columbia's Whistler series, Mark of the Whistler was an
enormous improvement on the first film, with a healthy number of
unexpected plot twists within its 60-minute time frame. Mark of the
Whistler was based on a story by Cornell Woolrich and directed by future
horror specialist William Castle.
