Whistler Fatal Error "Fatal Error " CBS 5/7/50
"The Whistler" was an American radio program running for a total of 13 years from May 16, 1942 until September 22, 1955. It was one of the most popular mystery drama's of its' time. Signal Oil Company sponsored the program. The marketing catch phrase was: "Let that whistle be your signal for the Signal Oil program, The Whistler."
During the first two years of the show J. Donald Wilson was the writer and producer. During 1944 producer and director George Allen took over. Other directors included Sterling Tracy and Sherman Marks with final scripts by Joel Malone and Harold Swanton. 692 total episodes were produced. Over 200 of those episodes can not be found and are no longer in existence.
The Whistler always finishes his stories with fatalistic relish, and "the strange ending to tonight's story" is rarely what one expects. In the world of The Whistler, fate has a few speedbumps for the hasty acts of the foolish! Those with a taste for crime and the macabre will enjoy the world of The Whistler.

Go to American Radio Classics web page and click on the picture of the old radio. Then look for The Whistler. They have just about every episode.

Just heard a bit of this in the film "THE TWO JAKES" and wondered what the show was.
Thanks for posting an episode!

thanx for posting. I've always been a big fan of this show. I'm still looking for the episode of the hit and run driver and of the man with the many voices.

I love this show. I like the narration. Announcer Marvin Miller was in some movies and wound up doing voices for TV cartoon. Before that he was famous for being the narrator for the Gerald McBoing Boing movie cartoon.
