Hammer the Toff is a 1952 British second feature[2] crime film directed by Maclean Rogers and starring John Bentley and Patricia Dainton.

On the train to the seaside resort of Brighthaven, Richard Rollinson is sharing a carriage with an attractive young lady called Susan Lancaster.

She explains that her uncle has developed a secret formula which sinister characters are keen to get their hands on, and they have been receiving threats of menace, hence the flight to Brighthaven.

Rollinson consults his old colleague Inspector Grice of Scotland Yard, who tells him that the evidence is pointing in the direction of a particular man as being responsible for the abduction.

Kine Weekly described it as "well staged, with a bright line in dialogue, and neat crime angles", while the Daily Film Renter termed it "lively, easily-assimilated strong-arm stuff with a whiff of comedy and a dash of romance".
