The Whisperers (1967)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 106m
Director: Bryan Forbes
Cast: Edith Evans, Eric Portman, Nanette Newman, Harry Baird, Gerald Sim
Synopsis:
An elderly lady occupies a ground floor flat in a humble Manchester suburb, prey to the voices she hears whispering around her and largely ignored by her neighbours. Undoubtedly high born, she is nevertheless dependent on the state for her sustenance.
Review:
Like other Forbes films of the period this one overawes with its professionalism which is strangely at odds with the grimy subject matter. A devastating story alleviated by the kindly figure of Sim as the social worker.
