Don't know if it's a fetish of mine (or not), but whistling seems to have been a part of my 'universe' for some time now. Thought I'd leave a couple of items of interest, things I listened too yesterday or watched online .... sort of an exploration on "Whistling, Whistler, Whistle' from my evening, last night.

Radio (1940s era): The Whistler

"I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales, hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes... I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak..... Tonight's Tale: "The Voice In The Dark."

Original Air Date: July 25, 1942
Episode Number: 11

Film Noir: Return of the Whistler (1948)

(William Castle)

Bonus Film: Comrade X (December 13th, 1940)

A light-hearted spy movie, starring: Hedy Lamarr & Clark Gable.
Gable's housecoat in polka-dots was ..... awesome.

Ha! I thought I was the only one who still liked these old-time radio shows. I download them from iTunes.

Last Will and Embezzlement (2010 Financial and exploitation of the elderly)
"
Last Will and Embezzlement" is a feature-length documentary which examines the financial exploitation of the elderly. Its creation was inspired by the recent, true-life events in the family of Pamela Glasner. Its focus is much more universal because the problem is, without question, universal. Of all the illegal and illicit enterprises in the world, elder exploitation is among the safest and most lucrative. It is a criminal's dream. It carries the least amount of risk, requires minimal outlay, can be done right from your living room, is virtually unreported by its victims - and then, even when it IS reported, it's perpetrators are practically never prosecuted.

GasLand (2010)

Can you imagine being able to light your tap water on fire? This is just one of the many shocking results due to the natural gas drilling boom which has swept the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology called hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" has unlocked a "Saudi Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? Josh Fox encounters EPA whistleblowers, congressmen, world recognized scientists, and some of the most incredibly inspiring and heart-wrenching stories of ordinary Americans fighting against fossil fuel giants for environmental justice.
