Whispering Smith was a detective on the Denver, Colorado Police Department in the 1870s. This show took case histories from Smith’s adventures. George Romack was Smith’s partner and John Richards was the police chief

Audie Murphy, hero and talented actor

Whispering Smith, If you are a fan of westerns or of anything featuring Audie Murphy then you will love watching any of these episodes.

While the series has some flaws, the stellar acting of Audie Murphy makes it well worth while. His pleasant easy going manner and yet his quiet toughness make him a western hero unlike any other I ever saw on the screen. He is never over powering and, unlike John Wayne, was a hero in real life who served his country with great honour and distinction.

Audie takes on the small screen …….

Whispering Smith, Audie Murphy appeared in a number of enjoyable westerns in the 1950’s before trying his luck in TV with this role as a cowboy detective. The acting and casting in this series were well-executed. However, the writing and erratic story lines were problematic in this series.

Audie Murphy was perfect for this role, which had been originated in a movie of the same name. Murphy made the role his own, and seemed to be very serious about seeing this series succeed. Eventually, he returned to the silver screen, seemingly disillusioned by his TV experience. This series is worth a look, but does not compare with his superior films of the 1950’s. As the 60s were ushered in the kind of solid B westerns that Audie Murphy made were getting fewer and fewer made for the big screen. I’m guessing that someone said a television series was steadier income. So Audie took a flier at the small screen. If you get a long running series like Bonanza or Gunsmoke that can be a steady money maker for you. But many of the screen’s biggest names didn’t quite make it in their efforts for a weekly television series. Much bigger names than Murphy’s. Whispering Smith failed to find an audience and ended after a half season. The character has been the title character for a number of big screen films, most notably Alan Ladd in 1948. His Whispering Smith was a railroad detective and the character fitted Ladd’s soft spoken but menacing personality perfectly. Audie’s character was also quiet and deadly, but he was a detective in the rapidly growing city of Denver’s municipal police. The other two characters were Audie’s sidekick pop singer Guy Mitchell and their boss Captain Sam Buffington. For reasons still unknown but speculated Buffington killed himself. That and bad ratings guaranteed the show’s early cancellation. Whispering Smith just never found an audience in 1961 where there were a glut of westerns on television back in that day. If it had maybe Murphy’s career course might have been different.

Item received was not as described

Item received was not 'starring Helen Hayes' despite her picture being on the DVD, it was actually the version with Joan Hickson. I raised a complaint one week ago but still heard nothing in reply. Very poor customer service.

Fantastic, thank you so much

i purchased this from you several months ago

i purchased this from you several months ago. Unfortunately I never saved it . i owned the dvd that i purchased about 20 years ago.and when my computer crashed lost it a second time. Anyone who buys a movie three times likes it. What you sold me is near DVD quality. Your competition sells it for three times what you charged because once again it's out of print. To boot when the charge three times the price the qualitty is poor. I OWN 10,000videos that took 40 years to acquire making purchases all over the world. I say this to emphasize that you are the only quality shop doing what you do so customers can have confidence when they buy from you. The only problem dealing with you is your supply is limited otherwise I would be our best customer. For the record this is a fact based story with fictionalized characters.
