Audio 2 on Widescreen Version: Commentary by Author and Film Critic Mick LaSalle
Despite advance warning to the police, who seal off the area, The Bat, a master criminal, steals a necklace from the safe in the house of a rich socialite. He leaves a note saying he is going to the country to give the police a rest. Pausing only to rob a bank at Oakdale, he proceeds to terrorise the occupants of a lonely country mansion, in a mixture of thrills, chills and laughs. At the end, an actor steps forward through a proscenium arch and asks the viewers not to reveal the Bat’s identity to their friends. A film noir shot in black and white, mainly at night in dimly lit scenes.
This film was shot in two versions with a different director of photography for each. One is in standard 35mm and the other in an early 65mm process. The 65mm version is considered “stagebound” (it was actually based on a popular play) while the 35mm version is considered more “cinematic”.

Thank you!
Hi NLZ! This might be an usual request, so if you choose not to fill it I will understand. I dearly love THE BAT WHISPERS. I’ve owned the Milestone DVD for decades, and now I own the new blu-ray. I like to backup my physical media, but unfortunately, I’ve had nothing but trouble with THE BAT WHISPERS. I thank you for the above download, but is there any way that you could add the British Version, the third version in this group? It IS very close to the US version, but there are subtle differences which make the UK version my preference. The casual viewer would probably not care, but the full screen UK version is the one that was included on the old DVD and happens to be my favorite version of this movie. If nothing else your post will include all three versions which would be an even bigger treat for those of us that are more ardent fans of this film. I hope you’ll consider my request. Thank you again for everything!
