Comment
An enigmatic policeman arrives at a family during dinner and starts asking all the members of the family about a woman who apparently killed herself and then it turns out that each of them had known her. As he questions each of them it turns out each of them having known her might have contributed to her committing suicide. This is a good film version of the play by J B Priestley with good performances from Alastaire Sim as the inspector and Jane Wenham as the dead woman whose story is told in flash backs.
