    Dick Barton at Bay

    This was the last of the Hammer Pictures Dick Barton movies. The lead Don Stannard was killed in a car accident after attending the wrap party for this movie.

    Professor Mitchell is a scientist who has invented a death ray that can explode enemy planes from a distance. He and his daughter has been kidnapped by Serge Volkoff and his team of foreign spies.

    Dick Barton got a coded message from Phillips, who was meant to guard the professor. Instead he was chased down and killed by two sinister men.

    Dick Barton and Snowy have one clue. An imprint of a of a three fingered hand on the glass of the phone box that Phillips phoned from.

    Volkoff has plans to eliminate Dick Barton himself.

    Based on the BBC radio serial. The acting never amounts to much. The action and story is very much B movie standards. There is a scene when you know it is dummy thrown off from the top.

    Damn Blast All Balderdash

    So the Dick Barton series came to a premature end .It has to be said that this film is an improvement on the previous two,however given that they were both unremittingly awful this is rather faint praise.The plot is as childishly daft as those of the previous two.the cast is also an improvement with no less than Tamara Deni featured.the print on the DVD is rather strange.at times it goes from great clarity to fuzzy graininess.maybe they were using a lot of stock shots from another source presumably they thought that the cinema-goers either would notice or care to much.thankfully having finished the three titles i can now go on to something rather more interesting.

    First the worst, second the best, third the one with too much Englishness.

    Listen, old chap... Dick Barton at Bay was released as the third film in Hammer's Dick Barton series, but was actually filmed second. It wisely ditches much of the silly comedy that made the first film such a chore, and also isn't aimed so squarely at kids (although there's still a spunky schoolboy to lend Barton a hand). It's also a slicker production, with better editing and direction (Godfrey Grayson taking over the reins from Alfred J. Goulding).

    "Blimey guv", you might be thinking, "this one's actually jolly good, then!", but even though it's an improvement over its predecessor, it's still got its fair share of problems: the script relies on some ridiculous contrivances and - by George - there's too much blasted Englishness for my liking, the dialogue almost a parody of the British stiff upper lip.

    Don Stannard returns as the heroic special agent, this time tracking down some evil Eastern Bloc agents, led by Serge Volkoff (Meinhart Maur), who have stolen a deadly ray and kidnapped its inventor Professor Mitchell (Percy Walsh) and his daughter Mary (Joyce Linden). Together with his loyal sidekick Snowey White (George Ford), Dick engages in fisticuffs with a variety of henchmen, survives an attempt on his life by Asian hitman Chang (Yoshihide Yanai), and arrives at the villain's lighthouse lair in the nick of time to prevent the rascal from blasting the West's most important scientists out of the sky.

    The film's most contrived moments include our heroes conveniently spotting Volkoff's three-fingered henchman in a pub (what are the chances?), female villain Anna spying Dick at the crash sight of an airplane (darn it!), and Dick and Snowey finding a high-explosive firework in a box in the lighthouse - perfect for blowing a trapdoor off its hinges. It's all just a bit too far-fetched, even for a Boy's Own-style adventure.

    "Now look here, dear fellow," you might say, "don't be so hard on a film that is over 70 years old'. Don't get me wrong, my good man... I'm not saying that the film is unwatchable - if you're a fan of Dick Barton or Hammer films in general, this one's just about worth a go - but watch Dick Barton Strikes Back if you want to see the special agent at his best.

    4.5/10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.

    Second of the Dick Barton films is a vast improvement over the first as Barton investigates a stolen death ray

    The film opens with a government agent being chased through the dark Limehouse streets (he's played by a young Patrick Macnee of the Avengers). He is killed and papers taken off his body. However before he could be killed he placed a call to Dick Barton, another agent. Barton gets on the phone just as the fatal shots ring out. This causes Barton to leap into action since he knew that his friend was assigned to protect a scientist working on a new "death ray". Unfortunately for Barton evil enemy agents have already broken into the scientists home and stolen the scientist and his invention. The rest of the film is a mad dash to find out who took the scientist and where they are hiding him.

    This is a vast improvement of the first Dick Barton film, Dick Barton Special Agent. Actually its a pretty good, if workman like, thriller. Gone are all of the things that made the first film one of the all time stinkers,namely the slapstick humor, romance and meddling kids. They are replaced by straight forward action and mystery. This is, at last, the movie version of the classic radio serial. It makes clear how Barton ended up the hero of millions of people all over the UK, he's a perfect man of brains and brawn. Its is the sort of movie that one has come to mind when one thinks of 1940's mysteries. You have a stand up hero, a vile villain who masks his black heart by playing the piano perfectly, some great set pieces (the lighthouse sequence) and just enough seriousness to keep things from becoming silly.

    To be honest its not perfect, the film can be a tad static and stiff when things aren't in motion, however its never long before some is getting shot at or chased, so the flaws are really minor annoyances and quibbles.

    This is a good 65 minutes in another place and time. Worth a shot if you're a fan of the mysteries of not so long ago.

    Daring Dick Disintegrates Dastardly Doings

    From the opening seconds you can tell this is in a different class to Special Agent, the first film of the three Dick Barton's. Background music and continuity are more professional and both gel to produce a tension sadly lacking before and the plot is also more cohesive, less slapstick and truer to the spirit of the thing. However the acting qualities are the same as before, Stannard playing Barton as a manly stoic clean-living clean thinking clean talking gentleman British God. See Red Dwarf for similarities to Arnold Rimmer, and his especially his parallel universe version who occasionally cropped up.

    This time Dick and Snowy are embroiled in trying to foil an Iron Curtain attempt to steal fantastic British disintegrator ray machine invention. Was anyone in the cinema really worried at the outcome? Patrick MacNee was hard to recognise as the callow youth at the beginning, but even then he was being cast as an all-round Good Egg. It wasn't released until October 1950, over a year after Stannard's death in a car crash in July 1949.

    A nice little unassuming potboiler, showing Hammer developing into a smoother operation.

      Hammer Studios planned many more of the Dick Barton series. However on Saturday 9th July 1949, coming home from a cast party in Maidenhead celebrating the release of the previous film in the series (Geheimwelle 505 (1949)), star Don Stannard crashed the car he was driving into a tree and was killed instantly, aged 34. His five passengers (including co-star Sebastian Cabot and Mrs Stannard) were only slightly injured.

      (4:02) The dead Phillips is dragged feet first from the phone box he's just been shot in, but has to keep his head slightly raised to avoid it dragging on the wet floor (and also dislodging his hat).

      Dick Barton: You'll never get away with it, Volkoff!

      Serge Volkoff: Oh, but I shall, Mr. Barton. We'll see who makes world headlines - you or I. Au revoir, my friend.
