Here is yet another irresistible performance from Alastair Sim and proves that he is the greatest actor ever to appear on the silver screen. Quite a claim, I grant you, but I stick by it. Forget De Niro and Brando, forget the Method, forget the hammy Shakesperian creakiness of Olivier, forget everthing you thought you knew about acting before and just watch this movie and see an actor who will totally fill the screen until you can not see past him.
Alastair Sim.
Where is the dud performance on his CV? Where is his Brando the 1960s years? Where is his Jazz Singer? The answer is nowehere. Every single performance from the very start to the very finish of his career is a gem, a polished joy-to-behold gem.
And the jewel in the crown of the Emeperor Sim is An Inspctor Calls.
This film grips you from start to finish. This is a celebrated play that has the same impact on screen. The revelations made by the unwelcome visitor have the desired shock effect, and the use of flashback to reveal the family's guilty secrets works.
It's a highly polished production and Sim's unique 'gently sinister' performance just gets better each time you see it.
