Dick Turpin is a 1933 British historical drama film directed by Victor Hanbury and John Stafford. It starred Victor McLaglen, Jane Carr, Frank Vosper, James Finlayson and Cecil Humphreys. The film depicts the adventures of the eighteenth century highwayman Dick Turpin and his legendary ride to York.[2] It was based on a historical novel by Harrison Ainsworth.
It was made at Cricklewood Studios[3] with sets designed by the art director Wilfred Arnold. It was the last film made by Stoll Pictures which had once been the dominant producer in Britain during the silent era.
Filming was difficult. Gaumont British were called in to invest an additional $100,000.[1]
