An Inspector Calls stars the incomparable Alastair Sim in this adaptation of J.B. Priestley’s classic stage play.

The Birling family are rich, pampered and complacent. It is 1912, and the shadow of the impending war has yet to fall across their lives. As they sit down to dinner one night, a knock at the door announces the arrival of Inspector Poole (Sim), who insists on questioning the family about the suicide of a young working-class woman.
