I've never heard the radio series "The Whistler". This movie version (one of eight Whistler films) is reminiscent of an Ed Wood project, especially the clunky script with its heavy-handed narration.
The plot revolves around an escapee from a mental institution who's out for revenge. An accident has induced brief amnesia, and a kindly young woman offers to help find out who he is. We know he's dangerous when we see him killing cats, canaries, and squirrels. (The latter is amazing, as wild squirrels do not tolerate being touched.)
The mechanical script is uninspired, as is the colorless direction. The only halfway interesting thing is a semi-passable performance by Richard Dix as the villain.
Woof-woof, bow-wow. You have been warned.
