Priestley's play set in 1912. When a young girl commits suicide, Inspector Goole (Thewlis) is sent to investigate the prosperous Yorkshire household of the wealthy Birling family. It emerges that each member of the family has a guilty secret and that each one is at least partly responsible for the girl's death, revelations that threaten to destroy the family's reputation. A wonderful period crime drama. Review: Superb Film - The best version of this story. The acting by all was exceptional Review: An interesting play - relevant for today and useful for GCSE revision - Very good production and well acted. Bought because my daughter is doing this for GCSE and we missed it when it was on TV recently. She has found it helpful to watch this, though it is not completely true to the original text and has been adapted somewhat for TV, for example we see flashbacks showing the character of Eva Smith who is only referred to in the play. However it is very good for getting to know the plot and characters, and most of the dialogue is as it is in the play script but with some additional scenes added. It's a very interesting play and I enjoyed it a lot as well as being helpful for my daughter. The main characters are a middle class family of a businessman, his wife and their adult son and daughter and the daughter's fiance. A police inspector calls one evening to question them about a woman, Eva Smith, who has committed suicide, and it is gradually revealed that each character has in some way behaved badly towards the dead woman and has reason to feel some responsibility for the events leading to her death. As the play progresses we start to wonder whether the inspector is really who he claims to be and what is the real purpose of his visit. It is set in 1912 but was written at the end of the Second World War, so the message about the dire consequences to humanity if we cannot learn to respect one another and treat other people fairly would have had particular resonance for the audience then, knowing that the world had just experienced two wars and a period of huge turmoil and change. Despite being a historical play it seemed very relevant to recent events (for example Trump, Brexit, the refugee crisis) where we're frequently questioning our own and others' attitudes and responsibilities towards other people in the world. A lot to think about and well worth watching more than once. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0144E0SW2 | | Actors | David Thewlis, Ken Stott, Miranda Richardson | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 142 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 5 in Television (DVD & Blu-ray) 44 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | Czech Republic | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,372) | | Director | Aisling Walsh | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0), English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Manufacturer reference | B0144E0SW2 | | Media Format | DVD-Video, PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Howard Ella | | Product Dimensions | 19 x 13.5 x 1.4 cm; 70 g | | Release date | 21 Sept. 2015 | | Run time | 1 hour and 26 minutes | | Studio | 2entertain | | Writers | Helen Edmundson, JB Priestley | ## Product Details - **Format:** DVD-Video, PAL - **Genre:** Television|Drama - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 1 ## Images ![An Inspector Calls [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PmRtsGmBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb Film *by W***B on 30 March 2026* The best version of this story.
