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. 译文(2): 《低语者》由伊迪丝 · 埃文斯爵士饰演一位孤独的老妇人，她的想象力正在逐渐战胜她的理智。她坚持认为，她总是听到“耳语者”在密谋和计划对付她; 她还认为，这些想象中的实体在监视她。埃文斯女士对自己不存在的耳语者如此怀疑以至于她没有注意到她周围真正的捕食者。她一生的积蓄被一个讨厌的“朋友”(阿维斯 · 布伦内格饰)抢走了，被她疏远的骗子丈夫(埃里克 · 波特曼[ Eric Portman ]饰)和一无是处的儿子(罗纳德 · 弗雷泽[ Ronald Fraser ]饰)利用了。即使当她发现别人的表里不一时，埃文斯女士也和她的“耳语者”走得太远，以至于当局拒绝相信她。尽管《低语者》可能有些下流和肮脏，但它还是赢得了纽约评论界的最佳女主角奖。
