Despite appearances, "An Inspector Calls" is not a traditional "whodunit" by any means. It's a strange, enigmatic, socially-conscious mystery, and if you're expecting solid answers, forget it. And it's not exclusively an "Alastair Sim" movie, either; although his presence does dominate the proceedings, most of the rest of the cast is excellent as well, particularly the two younger women, Eileen Moore and Jane Wenham, who are both elegant, beautiful, intelligent, sensitive. It's because of them that this mystery sometimes transforms into a quite moving drama. And the final scene, although open to the viewer's interpretation, is guaranteed to give you a chill! *** out of 4.
