Read all about it...billed as Columbia Noir #6, this is a nifty addition to Powerhouse's previous five box sets, all of which are now sold out.
One of the most distinctive of the "B"-film series that came into play at Columbia and RKO, THE WHISTLER gives us seven slices of Richard Dix in a series of eerie mysteries featuring familiar faces both in front of and behind the camera. Film #8, THE RETURN OF THE WHISTLER, featured Michael Duane as a replacement for Dix; it's not quite up to the level of the first seven films, but it's watchable.
