There is No Escape, also known as The Dark Road and The Thurston Story, is a 1948 British film from Hammer Films.

It was Michael Ripper's first appearance in a Hammer Film.[1]

The film was based on the career of criminal Stanley Thurston, who appeared in the cast as a character based on himself. Thurston was famous for his numerous escapes from prison, 5 times in 15 years.[2] He was released from prison in October 1946.[3][4]

The film had trouble with the British censors who thought the film glamorised a real life criminal. Thurston had to be billed as "Charles Stuart."[5][6]

James Carreras said, "The picture already has official police approval. I

have done everything to show that crime is a mug's game. Thurston is the only non-professional actor in the film. All he asked was £10 a week to cover expenses. At the end of the film he turns to the audience and tells them that a criminal life just isn't worth the candle, especially when guns are brought into crime. He made such a good job of the picture that I had him listed for a racing story on his merits as an actor. That plan will now have to be shelved."[7]

The film was shot at Marylebone Studios.[8]
