This week, John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb continue our Whistler series with a 1944 episode about an artist who commits the perfect crime,,, or so he thinks. When a wealthy woman provides him with an unexpected alibi, the two are drawn together in a relationship built on secrets and mutual suspicion. As the years pass, the past refuses to stay buried, and what starts as a murder mystery gradually turns into a tense psychological battle. John and Joe take a closer look at what made The Whistler one of radio’s premier series. They discuss Signal Oil’s role in supporting the program’s high production values, the unforgettable narration of Bill Forman, and the performances of real-life husband-and-wife team Elliott and Cathy Lewis. It’s another excellent example of the clever writing and atmospheric storytelling that made The Whistler a radio classic.
