Depart In Radiant Contentment! January 8, 2003
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Whistling In the Dark (1941) is one of my favorite films. Red Skelton is excellent in his first leading role as is the entire cast. Red plays Wally Benton, a radio detective named the Fox who writes his own crime stories. The extremely beautiful and foxy Ann Rutherford is his girlfriend Carol Lambert who appears on the radio shows with him. Eve Arden plays Wally's agent and Conrad Veidt is the leader of a cult that is in dire need of a perfect murder plot. The light-hearted thrills, laughs and fun start from there and never let you down.
Be forewarned, this film is in black and white but don't let that stop you. Two sequels followed, Whistling In Dixie (1942) and Whistling In Brooklyn(1943), to complete the "Fox Trilogy." If you view all three in order notice the interesting development of the Rags Ragland character. Even my children and grandkids love this one.
The cult leader's favorite saying is "Depart In Radiant Contentment" and after viewing this film you definitely will.
Excellent Movie! May 22, 2001

If you're looking for a light-hearted thriller (not, that is not an oxymoron in this case), this movie is for you! Red Skelton delivers a sublime performance as "The Fox", and will leave you gasping for breath because of all the laughter the movie will bring you! A must-see for all comedy lovers and afficionados...
