AUDIE MURPHY AND GUY MITCHELL, AN UNUAL PAIRING THAT REALLY WORKED WELL FOR THIS TV SERIES, A WELL MADE FORGOTTEN TV SERIES, THAT I BELIEVE WAS AUDIE MURPHY'S ONLY TV WORK......GREAT!!!

Next to Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy is my favourite star of westerns. Small of stature with a handsome baby face, he seemed eternally youthful until his tragic death in a plane crash in 1971 when he was only about three weeks away from his forty-seventh birhday. A hero of WW2, he starred in a great many successful westerns as well as playing himself in the movie 'To Hell And Back' ( 1955 ), which was essentially about his war exploits.
'Whispering Smith' was released in 1961 and lasted for 25 episodes. Audie plays a railroad detective operating in Denver, Colorado, and Guy Mitchell plays his partner. There were numerous guest stars including Robert Lowery, Forrest Tucker, Robert Redford and Alan Hale Jr. The series was not terribly successful and Audie, a little disenchanted with television, went back to making movies for the big screen.
Compared to his western movies, this TV series seems a little pedestrian, but then the episodes are only around 25 minutes long and I have to say the sound is a little muffled on these dvds, which doesn't help.
Still a must if you're an Audie Murphy fan and a chance to see a long-forgotten series.

Underdeveloped Audie
1961 was something of a watershed year for TV westerns. All the great shows of the golden age were still running - `Gunsmoke', `Bonanza', `Wagon Train', `Cheyenne', `Maverick',... Read more

A weak series
The best thing here is Audie himself, but the stories are quite weak. Perhaps the reason for my negative attitude is the dtective approach. I am allergic against detective stories. Read more

Whispering Smith
Very typical of TV cowboy series in the early 1960's but still enjoyable if you like watching Audie.
