The Arsenal Stadium Mystery Series: Thorold Dickinson’s World of Cinema Director: Thorold Dickinson, Country: United Kingdom, Release: 1940, Runtime: 85 “My God, how I needed the money.” This was Dickinson’s response to a question about how he came to make this lightning-fast and wonderfully entertaining whodunit quickie, set amidst the world of English football. Dickinson’s old college friend Leslie Banks is Inspector Anthony Slade, who is investigating the murder of a football star. Meanwhile, back at headquarters, Slade is trying to get the Police Follies in shape for performance. Among the many notable aspects of this superior “quota quickie” is the fact that Dickinson persuaded the real Arsenal team to play themselves (“When you looked round the set, half the people were actors, the other half were non-actors,” said Dickinson, “and all getting on perfectly well together.”) “This picture is as good to watch as either of the Thin Man films,” wrote Graham Greene, “and [Dickinson] gives us wit instead of facetiousness––wit of cutting and wit of angle.”
