THE POWER OF THE WHISTLER is a film-noir mystery from 1945, in which a superstitious woman foretells the death of an amnesiac man and tries to help him reclaim his memories, only for dark revelations to emerge.
violence
A character is stabbed in the chest with a pitchfork; detail of the stabbing and any injuries are hidden from view. A man is hit by a car but escapes serious harm.
threat and horror
A killer stalks a woman through darkened areas, telling her he will murder her with a knife. At one point a man grabs a woman around the neck and raises a blade towards her but she struggles free. Unsuspecting characters are put at risk of poisoning. It is implied a man may be responsible for the deaths of several animals, but we do not see any firm details of this.
additional issues
There are dated verbal references to mental health concerns, treatment and patients, including the description of one as a 'maniac'. A black maid from Georgia is presented in a dated, caricatured manner and male characters occasionally display sexist attitudes toward women.
