Leave your thoughts about The Arsenal Stadium Mystery.
| The SpectatorGraham GreeneThe explanation of the murder depends on another death outside the story and a coroner's report, and Mr. Dickinson's skill is never more evident than in his grim sad dramatisation of the dull typewritten pages. |
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThe plot is complicated, and not always easy to follow, but this is readily overlooked in the excitement of really well-staged football sequences, and the presence on the screen of a famous team and its Manager and Trainer. |
| User ReviewPrivate UGreat insight of how football was in the 1930's. Shows the real team acting and how they even got the manager George Allison to star in it!! Inspector is funny!! |

| User ReviewJamie DThis was a shocker for me. I thought it was gonna be really boring. Its actually one of the best films I have ever seen. a very well thought out mystery story with comedic elements and one or two references to the second world war. |
| User ReviewStuart HGood old British fun, anyone who intrested in long shorts, proper footballs and just a good old English mystery look no further |
| User ReviewCarole TA murder is committed at Highbury, part of an implausible story populated by implausible characters. The film was, however, completely charming and tremendously good fun. A little slice of pre-war Englishness. |
| User ReviewTed MA very good film. Not available in the united States but you can order the DVD from the UK. Make sure you get a multi region DVD player first. They will play any DVD in the world instead of just American DVD's |
| User ReviewPaul COnce the initial suspect acting from the actual Arsenal players and staff are out of the way, it turns into a decent detective story. |
| User ReviewHannah DI was looking forward to this, but I found it quite disappointing. It's probably my fault for not paying enough attention, but I couldn't keep track of the plot. |
