Новембра 13, 1930, Роланд. West released The Bat Whispers (1930) (аффилиате линк), the talkie version of his silent classic, Бат (1926). The film follows faithfully the script of the original. <Спан ббок_к = "289" ббок_и = "553" ббок_в = "56" ббок_х = "20" фсизе = "14" фвеигхт = "3" црвено = "255" зелено = "255" плави = "255" алфа = ", 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.

У овом филму, the master criminal “Бат” has evaded the police’s attempt to arrest him. In his latest crime, “Бат” murders and steals jewelry from an industrialist, while police officer sit in the next room.

Госпођа. 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 “Бат” на сеоско имање са надом да ће га наћи у пећинској кући.

Госпођа. 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 “Бат”.

Роланд. West, who directed this film, cast his close friend Chester Morris in most of his later films. Classic film fans probably remember Morris as “Boston Blackie” from the popular 1940s “Б” film series. <Спан ббок_к = "289" ббок_и = "553" ббок_в = "56" ббок_х = "20" фсизе = "14" фвеигхт = "3" црвено = "255" зелено = "255" плави = "255" алфа = ", Morris made several classic feature films with West including Alibi (1929) и Corsairs (1931). Both West and Morris (Best Actor) were nominated for Academy Awards at the 2nd Academy Awards in 1930 for their work on Alibi.

The Bat Whispers runs about 85 записник. The end of the film contains a plea from Morris not to give away the ending of the film to film goers, who have not seen the film yet.
