ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

arthur_tafero This is a flawed film in several respects. It has poor production values, B actors, and a really annoying little brat actress who never made another film (hopefully). The one saving grace of this film is the story and the script. It is a very intelligent script for the time period (the middle of WW 2). And it was almost impossible to find a film from that era that didn't mention the war.The story of a man who is accused as a serial killer, keeps you guessing all the way to the end of the film. I will not reveal the ending, but it is interesting. This is just one of your better B movies, especially in the noir genre. After all, we go to the movies to be entertained by a good story; this foots the bill.

MartinHafer And, the Oscar for the most annoying performance goes to...Juanita Quigley, as Rose....the girl who is CONSTANTLY screaming! This reason alone is an excellent reason NOT to watch "Whispering Footsteps"! As another reviewer pointed out, "...she is a screaming nuisance"!The story itself is a Republic B-movie...clocking in at under 55 minutes. In some small town, there has been a rash of murders...young women are being strangled. Suspicion falls on a guy who works at the bank because he looks like the descriptions of the murderer...but women seem more than willing to vouch for him...even when he's had some blackouts! Is he really the killer? And, if so, does he even know it?!The story is mildly entertaining...especially when Rose is NOT in the scenes. But she is often and I counted a total of nine times where she screamed...mostly with little provocation. And, there just wasn't enough good to outweigh that annoying brat!

XhcnoirX Bank teller John Hubbard resembles the description given by the authorities of a murderer. Because he was on vacation in the area where the murders took place, he becomes a suspect, and is constantly tailed by investigator Cy Kendall. When murders start happening in his own town, he soon finds himself the talk to the town, even tho his neighbor Joan Blair and his bosses daughter Rita Quigley provide him with alibis for the murders.The story is really basic and doesn't need a lot of time to be told. Which is maybe why this movie needs only just over 50 minutes. It feels like a movie adaptation of an episode of a radio play series like 'Suspense', including a (literally) last minute twist. The acting is decent enough, but there's an annoying part for a girl (Rita's sister Juanita Quigley) who screams every time she's scared, which is really often.The movie has plenty of dark/night-time scenes, which aren't shot in a noir way really but are atmospheric nevertheless. Director Howard Bretherton and DoP Jack Marta, who both did tons of westerns, do decent work here but don't expect magic. Overall the movie is entertaining tho and with its small town gossip angle even manages to sneak in some social commentary (altho I doubt that was intentional). 6/10

GUENOT PHILIPPE All has already been told in the plot line. Not bad, much talk, much more than in other Republic Studios movies. Howard Bretherton is a famous B - and mostly grade Z - film maker. Many many westerns and two serials MONSTER AND THE APE, and WHO'S GUILTY, two serials produced by the terrible Sam Katzman. Two serials that I won't recommend to anyone, even to a guy who would slaughter my whole family...Back to this little film, I guess that's probably his best picture. I won't watch any of his grade Z westerns, even under a gun barrel, because I already know what i would have to deal with. And I am not masochistic. So, I could only enjoy this little film. But maybe I am wrong, maybe there are some little gems among the dozens of features he was guilty of.Anyway, this film is worth for movie lovers, and gems diggers as I am.
