Review of An Inspector Calls (1954) by Simon T — 06 Nov 2017
J.B. Priestley's characteristically plodding and predictable 'mystery' is given a stolid and unremarkable cinematic airing that cannot even be rescued by the wonderful Alastair Sim. Extraordinary to realise that director Guy Hamilton would just ten years later helm arguably the best Bond movie ever (Goldfinger).
No wonder John Osborne tore up this stultifying West End tosh and paved the way for a new wave of playwrights.
