TRIVIA NOTE: The 26-episode series was  based on Frank H. Spearman's 1906 novel, "Whispering Smith." Spearman (1859-1937) was a banker, railroad man and a politician before he wrote his first novel, "Nerve of Foley" (1900).

Spearman's character spawned a number of films, including:

• Whispering Smith (1916) starring J.P. McGowan.
• Whispering Smith (1926) starring H.B.Warner.
• Whispering Smith Rides (1927) starring Wallace MacDonald.
• Whispering Smith Speaks (1935 starring George O'Brien.
• Whispering Smith (1948) starring Alan Ladd.
• Whispering Smith Hits London (1951) starring Richard Carlson.

The scripts for the series were based on actual police files and cases from the Denver Police Department.

Audie Murphy won a Medal of Honor during World War II and appeared in several western films, including  Night Passage (1957) as the Utica Kid; The Guns of Fort Petticoat (1957) as Lt. Frank Hewitt; Posse from Hell (1961) as Banner Cole; Gunfight at Comanche Creek (1963) as Judd Tanner; Bullet for a Badman (1964) as Logan Keliher; The Texican (1966) as The Texas Kid; and and 40 Guns to Apache Pass (1967) as Captain Bruce Coburn.

Guy Mitchell scored big with his 1956 song "Singing the Blues."

Before the series made it to the networks, there were a couple of problems with the cast. Guy Mitchell as Detective George Romack broke a shoulder when he fell from a horse which caused a delay in production, and Sam Buffington as Chief John Richards died (suicide) during the filming of the series. To add to these tragedies, when the program finally aired, the Senate Juvenile Delinquency committee filed charges that the show was too violent. Years later, Audie Murphy died in a plane crash near Roanoke, Virginia, on May 28, 1971.

The origin of the Smith's nickname is revealed on page 218 of the novel "Whispering Smith." Here is the excerpt:
