He tells them of the suicide of a young woman named Eva Smith and though they all claim not to have known her the inspector demonstrates that each in their own way contributed to her downfall, by having her dismissed from work or, in the young men's cases, having sexual relationships and then abandoning her.

Movie Reviews

Daily Mail (UK) - 8/10 by Deborah RossIt's a sort of Murder On The Orient Express... as threaded through socialist politics, and while it still stands up, and even felt timely, it was the performances that made this special; made you forget the play-ness of it.
User Review - 10/10 by Mark MGreat twists and turns. Just try to figure it all out.
User Review - 10/10 by Patti CStunning. Nuanced. Haunting, complex, mesmerizing script. On the mark acting. incredible production values. It doesn't get any better than this.
User Review - 10/10 by Bill BA gripping drama with flawless performances by all.
User Review - 10/10 by Thomas PWell done. The acting was great. The PC Stuff was a bit overdone. People still don't care much about each other and the elites still exist and still think the same way! Regardless the movie is worth watching.
User Review - 8/10 by Robert AA very good adaptation. I have seen the original with Alastair Sim which I think is slightly better than this, but there was a certain eerieness to this film that worked really well, and the score was brilliant.
User Review - 8/10 by Fiona DOne of the best dramas on telly this Christmas. A timely piece on the importance of kindness.
User Review - 8/10 by Rangan RSlow and super BBC drama of the unravelling of the insincerity and false morality of upper middle class Britain in the early 20th century. Written by JB Priestley the play strips levels of hypocrisy from a family who have collectively abused a young woman leading to her death. Later it seems the burden of guilt is relieved as the inspector is suggested to be an imposter but as the truth is brought home to them his words haunt the production as to the future of mankind if people will not learn about our interconnectivity: "If men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish." Superb.
