Friday, Dec. 15 - The Mark of the Whistler

The Mark of the Whistler (1944)

Richard Dix plays a vagrant who sees a bank notice for unclaimed money. He finds one of the recipients has his name and so he meticulously does a back ground check and presents himself at the bank to claim the money. Answering questions glibly, it is easy to convince the authorities but what he thought was $100 turns out to be closer to $30,000. With a now familiar plot twist, the Lee Nugent identity he has appropriated seems to have a few secrets of its own.
