TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The director Bryan Forbes and Nanette Newman, who played the upstairs neighbor, were husband and wife.

Composer John Barry wrote his score and recorded it whilst the film was being shot and before editing. The director used the music to help inspire him while making the film. Barry did do some revisions to match the final editing of the film, but for the most part the film was edited to his already recorded music.

Winning the Golden Globe for best actress (drama), as well as best actress honors from the BAFTAs, New York Film Critics Circle, National Board of Review and the Berlin Film Festival, Edith Evans was the awards season front-runner for the best actress at the American Oscars. However, in what many felt was a sympathy vote the award went to Katharine Hepburn (who also scored at the BAFTAs) for her role in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)."

The first filmed version was "ITV Play of the Week (1955)"'s , which had produced "ITV Play of the Week: The Whisperers (1961)" in 1961, with Nora Nicholson playing Mrs Ross.

Some of the locations were on Stretford Road, Old Trafford, going towards Hulme. Stretford Road Library, as was, is featured in scenes where the elderly go to read newspapers and get some warmth. Beside it, Jesse Broad Printers can be seen. At the time, 1966-7, much of that area was being demolished, so there are many depictions of derelict sites. The concrete suburb of Hulme that replaced the old terraced streets was itself demolished in the 1990s.

Popular Dialogues
