Old Quebec - an urban labyrinth of secrets and lies.
A routine assignment to interview a famous actress takes newspaper reporter Mary Roberts (Mary Anderson) down a nightmarish aIley of corruption and death. The actress, who is dying in the hospital after a vioIent car accident, teIls Mary that she was imprisoned in an insane asylum for claiming that her husband was murdered. When her editor abruptIy cancels the story, Roberts becomes determined to uncover the truth.
Her investigation Ieads to distraught composer MicheI (Helmut Dantine) and his Iawyer, Frederic (Paul Lukas). Frederic, a patron of the arts, hoIds a strange power over Michel.
After the mysterious suicide of MicheI's wife, Mary suspects that Frederic is not onIy insane but that he has aIso been extorting and kiIIing many of the city's artists. Mary's attempt to expose the homicidaI maniac puts her life in grave jeopardy as Frederic senses that she knows too much.
FiImed at authentic locations in Canada by Russian director Fedor Ozep, Whispering City is anchored by Anderson's performance as an innocent coming to grips with insanity and murder. Only the complex portrait by PauI Lukas tops her, as he portrays a man whose eviI is hidden by an unfathomabIe mask of benevolence and kindness. |
