STUDIOCANAL‘s spectacular new 4K restoration of the gripping mystery thriller, AN INSPECTOR CALLS (1954), is available now on 4K Ultra HD for the very first time to celebrate the films landmark 70th Anniversary this year.
Based on J.B. Priestley’s classic stage play, the film stars the incomparable Alastair Sim. (A Christmas Carol), Arthur Young (The Lady with a Lamp), Jane Wenham (The Teckman Mystery), Olga Lindo (Sapphire), Brian Worth (Holiday Week) and Eileen More (The Green Man).
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.
A timely reminder of the importance of social responsibility and community, AN INSPECTOR CALLS was adapted for the screen by Desmond Davis (Lilli Palmer Theatre) and directed by Guy Hamilton (director of four James Bond films, including the iconic Goldfinger). A tight-knit chamber piece unfolds in to a thought-provoking murder mystery and confessional family drama with stand-out acting led by Alastair Sim as the seemingly all-knowing inquisitor Inspector Poole.
