Since looking around the TCM schedule for the upcoming months I've found that several of the Whistler movies are being broadcast on the network on Monday, October 5th, including the one with Janis Carter. As a not so secret fan of Richard Dix, I'll definitely be there to catch these, since I honestly can't recall which ones I've seen of them, (it must be one of those film noir plot devices rubbing off on me, giving me cinematic amnesia). Though I know Dix isn't in all of these, here's the lineup--I hope someone will give this thread a bump close to the date of the broadcast:Dewey1960 wrote:Janis Carter truly does add a measure of spice, giving B goddesses like Ann Savage and Jean Gillie a run for their well-earned money. Next time TCM drags out The Whistler films, check out POWER OF THE WHISTLER which features another interesting Carter performance.
