Airing on CBS radio and sponsored by the Signal Oil Company, The Whistler (Joseph Kearns, Gale Gordon, and Bill Forman) was an ominous narrator who knew the killer's every move even before they did. The stories followed an effective formula in which a person's criminal acts were typically undone by their own missteps. The Whistler often commented directly upon the action in the manner of a Greek chorus, taunting the criminal from an omniscient perspective. One of the show's trademarks was the ironic twist endings that helped serve as a payoff for the listener. Radio performers heard in this collection of sixteen episodes include Bill Forman, Elliott Lewis, Gerald Mohr, Joan Banks, and Frank Lovejoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7\/16\/47 - \"Beyond Reasonable Doubt\"\u003cbr\u003e 8\/6\/47 - \"Dark Future\"\u003cbr\u003e 8\/27\/47 - \"Curtain Call\"\u003cbr\u003e 9\/10\/47 - \"Bridge on Black Mountain\"\u003cbr\u003e 10\/8\/47 - \"Career Man\"\u003cbr\u003e10\/22\/47 - \"A Case for Mr. Carrington\"\u003cbr\u003e 10\/29\/47 - \"The Back Door\"\u003cbr\u003e 11\/5\/47 - \"The Big Prison\"\u003cbr\u003e 11\/19\/47 - \"Dark Moon\"\u003cbr\u003e 11\/26\/47 - \"Body Off Billingsgate\"\u003cbr\u003e 12\/10\/47 - \"Wedding Gift\"\u003cbr\u003e 12\/17\/47 - \"Murder in Haste\"\u003cbr\u003e 12\/31\/47 - \"The First Year\"\u003cbr\u003e 1\/14\/48 - \"Silent Partner\"\u003cbr\u003e 1\/21\/48 - \"Twelve Portraits of Marcia\"\u003cbr\u003e 3\/3\/48 - \"Boiling Point\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Eye Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49368045453616,"sku":"BDe5ws","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49368045486384,"sku":"ZEe5ws","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49368045551920,"sku":"ZMe5ws","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/e5ws-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775920962","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-e5ws","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
