Ноября 13, 1930, Roland V. West released The Bat Шепот (1930) (партнерская ссылка), the talkie version of his silent classic, Летучая мышь (1926). The film follows faithfully the script of the original. <Промежуток bbox_x = "543" bbox_y = "1494" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" FSIZE = "14" fweight = "3" красный = "255" зеленый = "255" синий = "255" альфа = ", West is able to experiment with film techniques like tracking shots, still a novelty in early sound cinema. Editing still dominated as the continuity and story moving technique.

В этом фильме, the master criminal “Летучая мышь” has evaded the police’s attempt to arrest him. In his latest crime, “Летучая мышь” murders and steals jewelry from an industrialist, while police officer sit in the next room.

Г-жа. Cornelia van Gorder, played by Grayce Hampton, has rented an isolated country manor, where the loot from a bank robbery may be hidden. The lure of stolen money brings “Летучая мышь” в усадьбу с надеждой найти ее в пещерном доме.

Г-жа. van Gorder is joined by her niece, maid, caretaker and a group of other visitors. One of the visitors is Detective Anderson, played by Chester Morris, who intends to trap “Летучая мышь”.

Classic film fans probably remember Morris as “Boston Blackie” from the popular 1940s “<Промежуток bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "566" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" FSIZE = "14" fweight = "3" красный = "255" зеленый = "255" синий = "255" альфа = "” фильм серии. <Промежуток bbox_x = "543" bbox_y = "1494" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" FSIZE = "14" fweight = "3" красный = "255" зеленый = "255" синий = "255" альфа = ", Morris made several classic feature films with West including Alibi (1929) и Corsairs (1931).
