WHISPERERS

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1966 Bryan Forbes Drama THE WHISPERERS, based on the novel by Robert Nicolson and starring Edith Evans, Eric Portman, Avis Bunnage, Nanette Newman, Gerald Sim, Ronald Fraser, Leonard Rossiter, Kenneth Griffith, Harry Baird, Robert Russell and Margaret Tyzack.

The Whisperers stars Dame Edith Evans as a lonely old woman whose imagination is getting the better of her sanity. She insists that she hears “whisperers” plotting and planning against her at all times; she also believes that these imaginary entities are spying on her. So suspicious is Ms. Evans of her nonexistent whisperers that she fails to notice the very real predators around her. She is robbed of her life’s savings by a nasty “friend” (Avis Brunnage), and is exploited by her estranged con-artist husband (Eric Portman) and her no-good son (Ronald Fraser) Even when she catches on to the duplicity of others, Ms. Evans is so far gone with her “whisperers” that the authorities refuse to believe her. Seedy and sordid though it may be, The Whisperers won Edith Evans the Best Actress award from the New York Critics’ Circle.

The poster is in very good folded condition.
