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, celebrating the engagement of the eldest child, Sheila, to prosperous business man Gerald, a knock at the door announces the arrival of a visitor who will change their lives forever.

A bit of a peculiar one. The dinner table conversation at the start instantly gave me flashbacks to Harry Enfield’s "Women: Know Your Limits!", so I couldn’t help but smile right off the bat. Then, when the inspector arrived, things started to feel a bit off in a good way, like there was something more beneath the surface. I was enjoying the story, the cast was solid, and I was set on giving it a strong three-star rating. But then the film shifted gears into full-on social commentary mode, and suddenly I found myself losing interest. I don't care much for moral lectures in today’s films, and I wasn't any more entertained by the ones from the past. And that ending? Felt like pure cop-out territory. It took the potential third star and buried it. / Lesson learned: when in doubt, let it fizzle out.

It pretends to be a classic detective movie, but – and I have nothing against classic detective movies – fortunately this is something completely different, more interesting, better. Don't find out more, watch it and be surprised. Alastair Sim gives a great performance that underpins the atmosphere of the whole film. P.S: Arthur Young, who plays Mr. Birling, bears an uncanny resemblance to Bohuš Záhorský!
