ShangLuda Admirable film.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

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!

Alex da Silva John Hubbard (Mark) lives in a guest house and falls under suspicion when his description fits that of a murderer. Not only that, but his behaviour seems to fit someone who may be guilty of a murder spree – he reads strange books and his after dark hours seem to follow the pattern of the murderer. So, is he? The film is OK – ruined by a few of the cast – but essentially it keeps you guessing so that's a good point. It's a shame that Juanita Quigley (Rose) doesn't get murdered – you will see what I mean. She's the one that screams every time she appears. Not just once, usually 3 times. And it's always at top decibels and very shrill. I think it's meant to be funny. Anyway, she ruins the film. Another oddity is Mary Gordon (Ma) who plays the landlady and who speaks with what sounds like a dreadful Scottish accent. I found out that she is actually Scottish which makes her unlike-able because she shouldn't speak like that! It's a compact film that is more of a study of human nature rather than a straightforward whodunnit.

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.
