you have to be awfully patient to sit through a film with one liners so flat and unfunny that you wonder what all the fuss was about when whistling in the dark opened to such an enthusiastic greeting from audiences in the 1940s. on top of some weak one liners and ordinary sight gags and the plot is as far fetched as the tales the fox (red skelton) tells his radio audience. you have to wonder why anyone would think he could come up with a real life solution on how to commit the perfect crime and get away with it. but then and that how unrealistic the comedy is. but if youre a true red skelton fan and enjoy a look back at how comedies were made in the 40s you can at least enjoy the amiable cast supporting him. ann rutherford and virginia grey do nicely as his love interest and conrad veidt and as always and makes an interesting villain. one of his more amusing moments is his reaction to skelton explaining the mysteries of wearing turbans. i never knew that and he muses and impressed by a minor point that is cleverly introduced. all in all and typical nonsense that requires you to accept the lack of credibility and just accept the gags as they are. not always easy for a discriminating viewer as many of them simply fall flat and the way many comedies of this era do because the novelty of the sight gags and one liners has simply worn off.
