The Night Listener is about a demented woman who stalks a radio talk show host under the pretense that she is the foster parent of a boy who was severely sexually assaulted by his parents and is now diseased and dying. The boy, the host, and the woman become fast friends over the phone, but something isn't quite right. It is never quite explained whether the boy actually existed, but many people believed the boy did exist and gave the talk show host a very rough time for questioning the woman when he takes a surprise trip to the woman's town. The acting was very good, and everyone did a fine job telling a strange story of deceit and personal sorrow. A class A film worth a watch.
