THE WHISTLER - 1950's - TV SERIES - INCLUDING 29 LOST EPISODES - DVD!
Product Description
The Whistler was a televisions series from 1954-1955 with only 39 episodes being broadcast. Episodes of The Whistler began with the ominous narration:
"I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales, hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes... I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak".
The stories followed an effective formula in which a person's criminal acts were typically undone by either an overlooked but important detail or their own stupidity, except on some rare occasions when a curious twist of fate caused the story to end happily for the episode's protagonist. Ironic twist endings were a key feature of each episode of the series. The Whistler himself narrated, often commenting directly upon the action in the manner of a Greek chorus, taunting the criminal from an omniscient perspective. ===============================================
