Graham Greene The Spectator 10/03/2018
The 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. Go to Full Review
MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin 01/24/2018
The 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. Go to Full Review
John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis 08/10/2012
6/10
The movie has more than a few good qualities, most notably the presence of Leslie Banks as the wonderfully droll police inspector. He pretty much makes the show. Go to Full Review

03/12/2012 A great performance from Banks and a good premise but the rest of the cast and the disappointing ending ruin this film. See more 04/21/2010 A 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. See more 01/15/2010 This 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. See more 01/06/2010 wow umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch........its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie.....i think that anthony bushell, greta gynt, ian mclean, leslie banks, liane linden play good roles/parts throughout this movie......i think that leslie banks is good as the scotland yard inspector.......i think that the director of this thriller/classics/who done it movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie......i think that this is a good who done it mystery/thriller movie....i think that this is an enjoyable movie 2 watch See more 10/22/2009 I 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. See more 10/04/2009 An interesting little curio but ultimately The Arsenal Stadium Mystery is more "who cares" than "whodunnit"... See more Read all reviews
