Synopsis:

A film noir classic that originated the trope of "I've been poisoned and I have to figure out who poisoned me before I die". This version differs in that I have removed a silly inclusion of a slide whistle doing a wolf call whenever our "hero" sees a pretty lady.

Intentions:

I LOVE this movie, but the slide whistle gag is so annoying and I become fixated on it every time it happens. It needed to go.

Change List:

After obtaining the soundtrack to the film, I was able to use the "rumba" track to mask the slide whistle sounds. A quick audio grab here and there helped further cut the sound. For the last slide whistle edit, I had to use Adobe Free AI enhance to get rid of the slide whistle sound while one of the characters was speaking. It is slightly noticeable, but I feel that it fits with an older film such as this.

Special Thanks:

BionicBob for previewing and catching that one slide whistle that eluded me during the editing process.
