The Great Game (1953 film)

The Great Game is a 1953 British sports comedydrama directed by Maurice Elvey and starring James Hayter, Thora Hird and Diana Dors. It was based on a play by Basil Thomas. Many of the scenes were shot at Griffin Park the home of Brentford F.C.. Several professional football players made appearances in the film including Tommy Lawton.

The Digital Fix found the film largely insignificant and admittedly musters up little interest, but then it is offset with a gentle humour and plenty of broad comedy characterisation from its supporting cast nobody could ogle Dors sexpot secretary quite like John Laurie does in the opening scene.
