n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

After taking a stumble of sorts with the previous entry in the "Whistler" series ("Mysterious Intruder"), the series made a sort of comeback with this next entry. I will admit by today's standards that the movie, even though it only runs sixty five minutes in length, is a little slow at times - though it is never so slow that it really tries the patience of the viewer. It does manage to set things up early on in a way that gets viewers intrigued and make them curious as to what will happen in the end. And there are several surprise twists along the way that help the story stay fresh and interesting. I'm not sure, however, that finding a bottle of poisoned medicine alone would be enough to prove that the lead character committed murder - a good defense attorney would be able to correctly argue that anyone could have put the poison in the bottle. (Though to the movie's credit, eventually there is additional evidence that pops up.) Apart from that quibble, the movie ends up being one of the best entries in this B movie series.

The sixth Whistler movie from Columbia starring Richard Dix. This time Dix plays a real slimeball. He's an artist married to a rich lady with heart problems. Dix has his lusty sights set on gold-digging model Leslie Brooks and can't wait for the wife to kick the bucket. But then wifey's health takes a turn for the better. She ought to know better than that.A few neat twists & turns as one might expect from this fine series of B films. Dix turns in a good performance as the creepy husband. Leslie Brooks is a knockout as the model all the fuss is about. The supporting cast includes greats like John Hamilton and Byron Foulger. One thing that irked me is the way Brooks' mercenary character is turned into the heroine in the final act. It was a hard sell to me. Altogether, this was a pretty solid B movie.

A middle aged artist married to a not much older woman is tempted into an affair by a blonde bombshell and takes drastic action to ensure that he retains his wife's capital while retaining the grasping blonde social climber. But as five previous characters played by Richard Dix have found out, the whistler allows you to get away with your nefarious deeds for only so long, and the conclusions aren't always a happy tune. The svelte platinum blonde bombshell Leslie Brooks took on some nefarious femme fatal roles during her career, but here, she is merely guilty by association. Cheating Dix is clever-to a point-but once the deed is done, the unknown takes over, and in haste, Dix gives away the fact that he will loose it by answering the phone when the doorbell rings. The suspicious housekeeper plants the idea of Dix's schemes in Brooks' mind, leading to the inevitable truth.An improvement over the previous "Whistler" film, this takes a typical plot done dozens of times and adds some interesting elements to make it intriguing. This gives the femme fatal a conscience, and there's no doubt that the villain will fall into a trap. In films like this, the conclusion may be obvious, but how it is wrapped up neatly that retains audience interest.

**SPOILERS** Edith Harrison, Mary Currie, has been told by her doctors, getting a second third and even forth opinion, that she doesn't have long to live. Suffering from a weak heart Edith is preparing for the enviable by buying herself an expensive marble monument as her gravestone. Edith has everything engraved on the headstone but her date of death.While Edith is on the way to the graveyard her partying and carousing husband Ralph, Rchard Dix, the artist is getting very friendly with his latest model blond bombshell Kay Morrell, Leslie Brooks, whom he met at one of his many parties that he's always throwing. Kay herself is anything but interested in the middle-aged, he's 53 and she's 24, Romeo but the fact that he's loaded, with cash as well as booze, makes her overlook that fact.Told by Ralph that the old lady, Edith, hasn't long to go Key sees the end of the rainbow, with the pot of gold, within her reach and agrees to marry Ralph as soon, after a proper period of mourning, as his wife checks out for good. It's turns out that Edith, in a way, double-crossed Ralph by miraculously getting better where she gets as healthy as she was when she married Ralph some ten years ago.Out of bed and up on her feet Edith decides to pay Ralph a surprise visit at his studio not realizing that he just about gave her up for dead and is having an affair with his model Kay. Hiding in a room at the studio Edith's expects to surprise Ralph when he shows up but is shocked to see him, as she's hiding behind a screen, show up with Kay telling her that she's,not Edith, his one and only love. Mad as hell Edith decides to cut the cheating Ralph out of her will and puts that in writing in her diary. Later after Edith confronted Ralph, who was shocked to see her back in the pink of health, with the evidence of his infidelity he decides to do the job that her heart failed to do; kill her by spiking her heart medication with poison. Edith in fact dies, more from a broken heart then anything else, a few days later but Ralph feels that it was the tampered with, on Ralph's part, heart medication that did her in. ****SPOILERS**** Unknowing to Ralph Edith pretended to be fast asleep and saw that heel of a husband of hers Ralph sneak into her bedroom planting the poison and was to later use that evidence, the heart medication, in having him indited in attempting to murder her.With Edith now gone Ralph and Kay soon tie the knot but things don't go as smoothly as Ralph expected them to go. Ralph is guilt-ridden over Edith's death and feels, reading about a similar murder case in the newspaper, that soon the truth will come out about it in that he poisoned or murdered her. It's when Kay has a long talk with Ralph and the late Edith's maid Laura, Clair De Brey, that she realizes that Edith's death was anything but natural which in fact it was! Finding hidden in the attic both Edith's diary and medication, that Ralph spiked with poison, Kay now feels that he's a wife murderer and if he murdered once he'll surly murder again and she's the wife that he'll murder!Even though Ralph wasn't a murder he sure as hell acted like one and later his screwed up mind would in fact lead him to commit a murder in order to cover a murder that he didn't commit! The movie shows that even thinking about trying to murder someone and going through the motions will only lead that person to eventually commit murder. Ralph found out only too late that he was in fact home free, to marry Kay and collect his deceased wife's millions, but his guilty conscience took over and in the end drove him mad. Mad to the point of having him do the unthinkable that would in the end lead him straight to the electric chair.
