Dick Barton Strikes Back is a 1949 British second feature ('B') spy film directed by Godfrey Grayson and starring Don Stannard. It was written by Elizabeth Baron and Ambrose Grayson and was the third of three films that Hammer Film Productions made about agent Dick Barton, although it was the second one to be released. The film was trade shown on March 7, 1949, and on July 9th, Don Stannard was killed in a car accident, after which the film was released on July 18th, 1949. The second film in the series, Dick Barton at Bay, had actually been completed earlier in 1948, but perhaps because of Stannard's untimely death, it was only released (as the third film in the series) in 1950.
