The Whisperers

John,

I have actually been to have a look at one of the film sets which is on
Napier St Oldham.

..............a good start

Unfortunately one of the shots where I recall Margaret
Rutherford...........perhaps Edith Evans?......... walking down some steps
is very overgrown with trees and
bushes.

.............This still, attached, is the only info I have

What I really need to help is to be able to take still shots
from the original film and compare with the present scenes - do you know
how I could do this?

.............yes, with a free program called Nero, you unload to your
computer from Video or DVD, then "frame grab" the individual scenes as
require,

That way I could go to the various locations in and
around Oldham which include Town field police station and a backdrop
scene showing the grimy industrial cotton mills which was at St Mary's
Ward.

When the film was made, my father in law met Brian Forbes and asked why
he choose to make it in Oldham. He explained that the town presented the
right feeling of industrial decay and depression.

.............Have you got a copy of the film? Can you make me a copy? Then
we can pull the stills and send them back for you to identify.

..........Best wishes

..........John

Regards

Chris
