The power of the Whistler
26 November 2023
Dix plays an amnesiac who learns about his name and past through the help of amateur fortune teller Jean Lang (Janis Carter), who predicts that he will be near death twice in the coming day. Outside the restaurant, she saves him from being struck by a car. It is then that he realizes he has no memory of his past.

Charmed by his pleasant, cultured manner, she resolves to help him uncover the mystery of his life. She continues to do so, even as she encounters signs that they may find something scary.

A rather eerie tale which reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode- it's quite atmospheric in a dreamy way and boasts solid performances by Janis Carter, Jeff Donnell and Richard Dix who plays an amnesiac. The fact that three animals seems to die around him ups the suspense. It's a bit slow moving but in away it fits the moody, noirish psychological undertones.
