3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Nancy Drew mystery, January 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Whispering Walls (VHS Tape)

Nancy goes to visit her aging aunts in an old gothic mansion and discovers someone is trying to scare them into selling the place. This video is a fairly well done piece and is definitely classic Nancy Drew.

4.0 out of 5 stars Groovy Nancy, June 22, 2003

By 

Carolyn Keene (Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains...) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Whispering Walls (VHS Tape)

In 1977, Nancy Drew donned her double-knit pantsuit and set out with her friends George Fayne and Ned Nickerson to solve her very first mystery on television. Millions of girls sat spell-bound in front of their television sets, anxiously waiting to see if Nancy could solve the puzzling incidents in her hometown, River Heights USA.
The Nancy Drew Mysteries television show of the 1970s was saturated in cultural influences. Nancy danced to disco, drove a groovy blue sports car and even teamed up with the Hardy Boys (wearing their leisure suits) to bust crime the 70s way.
Her glamourous adventures included posing as a world-famous professional tennis player, solving mysteries aboard cruise ships and overthrowing counterfeit gangs.
What adventure! What romance! What intrigue!
In this episode, Nancy stays at an old southern mansion complete with hidden passages, cranky neighbors and voices in the walls.
"Secret of the Whispering Walls" is extrememly reminiscent of The Secret of Red Gate Farm, one of the original Nancy Drew Mystery Stories. You might even call it a combination of Red Gate Farm and The Hidden Staircase.
George is a little out of character; she's too much of a fraidy-cat when it comes to investigating.
Despite it's shortcomings, this episode is one of my favorites.

3.0 out of 5 stars This Is A Good Tape But Now That The Complete First Season Is Out I Think That Is Better!, October 14, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Whispering Walls (VHS Tape)

Nancy Drew was one of my favorite TV shows when I was a young girl in the 70's. Based on the mystery books for young readers by Carolyn Keene it is about a teenager named Nancy Drew who has a knack for solving mysteries and crimes and stars Pamela Sue Martin (Dynasty) as Nancy. The Secret of the Whispering Walls is my favorite episode and is about Nancy's two elderly aunts who live in an old mansion where some strange events are happening and Nancy with the help of her friends, a boy named Ned and a girl named George investigates. Nancy Drew is now finally available on DVD along with the Hardy Boys in the complete first season of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries and as good as this tape is I think it is better to get that complete first season DVD instead. They actually combinded episodes of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew and alternared each week but unfortunately they later dropped the Nancy Drew epsiodes.
