Midnight Movie: An Inspector Calls

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

based on the play by J. B. Priestley
starring Alastair Sim
with Arthur Young, Olga Lindo

When a police inspector calls to investigate a young girl's suicide, it is a disturbing experience for a smug provincial family to find that they, unknown to each other, have pushed her step by step to her death
This film follows J. B. Priestley's original play almost word-for-word, but Guy Hamilton's direction makes use of film technique

J. B. Priestley is 75 today. A birthday tribute can be seen in Omnibus tomorrow evening on BBC1. See story on page 13
