Dick Barton at Bay is a 1950 British second feature ('B') spy film directed by Godfrey Grayson and starring Don Stannard. It was written by Ambrose Grayson and was intended to be the second of three films that Hammer Film Productions made about the British agent Dick Barton, although it was the last one to be released, following Dick Barton: Special Agent (1948) and Dick Barton Strikes Back (1949). The film started production on March 4, 1948 (intended to be the 2nd film in a Dick Barton trilogy), but it was only trade shown on Sept. 2, 1950, and theatrically released on Oct. 2, 1950. The film's original working title was Dick Barton and the Ray of Death.
