Trivia
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 (Dick Barton Strikes Back (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.

Goofs
(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).

Quotes
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.

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.
