AN INSPECTOR CALLS
1954

Adapted from the J.B. Priestley stage play, An Inspector Calls is everything that was great about 50's British Cinema. Simple in structure with quality writing. No histrionics from the actors, allowing the story be the star. Alastair Sim is perfectly cast as Inspector Poole, slowly revealing the hidden secrets of each family member.
