An Inspector Calls (1954)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 79m
Director: Guy Hamilton
Cast: Alastair Sim, Jane Wenham, Arthur Young

Synopsis:

One night in a northern industrial town around the turn of the century, a girl is admitted to hospital, pregnant, after having swallowed bleach, and an inspector visits an upper middle-class family who seem to have had dealings with her.

Review:

J.B. Priestley's classic cautionary tale cries out for the common man, and who better to speak for the exploited lower orders than Alastair Sim, hardly sounding altogether at home in a Yorkshire town? This version of the play still works pretty well, production and acting-wise, and Hamilton draws us into the intrigue.
