- QuizThe original play was produced twice on Broadway over a 50-year period of time. The second production earned multiple awards, including Best Revival of a play, and best featured actress for Jane Adams. The revival production also earned awards for creative set design, which featured all adult actors moving around on an oversized doll house sized set, and the actors were unable to actually enter or move around within the rooms of the house.

- Citazioni
The Inspector: There are millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives in what we think and say and do. We don't live alone upon this earth. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other. And if mankind will not learn that lesson, then the time will, soon, when he will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.
- ConnessioniRemake of An Inspector Calls (1954)
I can't compare (as yet) with the original version, but the 2015 version is very well, with good period atmosphere.
"An inspector calls" is based on the play of the same name by J.B. Priestley (1945). Earlier Priestleys novel "Benighted" (1927) had been adapted by James Whale into the movie "The old dark house" (1932). Both novel and play are comments on the English class society.
The story of "An inspector calls" is about the suicide of a working class girl. During an interrogation by the mysterious inspector Goole (being a group interrogation, this gives the play / film a very Agatha Christie like flavor) it turns out that all of the members of a wealthy family have contributed in one way or another to this suicide.
The story has aged very well. I would like to call attention to a couple of things in particular.
In the beginning of the film the father of the wealthy famlily says "It is not important where you start in life, it is important where you finish". The old American dream phrased differently. His own family is the living proof of the fact that it does matter where you start in life.
Inspector Goole is very mysterious. He seems to be omniscient, interrogating to force a confession and not to learn more himself. He makes a very moralistic farewell speech, in which he says there are thousands of people like the poor working class girl in the story. It is obvious that he is not an ordinary police inspector. It is for the spectator to decide who or what he really is.
The members of the family ar all guilty of the suicide of the girl. There guilt is however ethical and not legal. It is disenchanting to see how quickly some members of the family recuperate when they become aware of this distinction.
