Death Goes to School is a 1953 British mystery film directed by Stephen Clarkson and starring Barbara Murray, Gordon Jackson and Pamela Alan.[1] [2] It was made at Merton Park Studios as a second feature.
Police investigate the death of a tyrannical teacher at a girls school, where any number of people might have killed the dead woman.
Kinematograph Weekly said: "Unhurried but reasonably well acted, it holds the interest even if it fails to chill the spine".[3]
Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "As a thriller this is poor, the successive interviewing of the suspects one by one inducing positive tedium. The film, however, has one bright aspect: the amusing caricature of girls' school life it provides."[4]
In British Sound Films David Quinlan describes the film as: "Verbose, monotonous whodunnit"[5]
