The House of the Arrow is a 1930 British mystery film directed by Leslie S. Hiscott and starring Dennis Neilson-Terry, Benita Hume and Richard Cooper.[1] It was based on the 1924 book The House of the Arrow, and its subsequent stage play adaptation by A.E.W. Mason, part of his Inspector Hanaud series.[2] It was one of four film adaptations of the story. It was made at Twickenham Studios.[3] A quota quickie, it was distributed by the American company Warner Brothers.[4] A separate French-language version La Maison de la Fléche was also produced at Twickenham directed by Henri Fescourt.

A follow up film At the Villa Rose was made in 1930 with the same director. Austin Trevor replaced Terry as Inspector Hanaud.[5]
