Preview: The Arsenal Stadium Mystery (Bluray)
Featuring Arsenal’s 1938/39 team line-up and an arguably career-best performance from Leslie Banks as an impeccably eccentric detective, The Arsenal Stadium Mystery remains both a classic whodunit and a high-water mark for pre-war British film. You can read our Cult Movie Essentials article on the movie HERE.
Directed by Oscar-nominated Thorold Dickinson, it is featured here as a remaster from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
Amateur football team The Trojans face their toughest challenge: a charity match against Arsenal in front of a capacity crowd. During the game their star player collapses and dies of poison. Inspector Slade of Scotland Yard is assigned to catch the murderer – and he has only three days to do it before it interferes with his theatre rehearsals!
