Dangerous Assignment is a 1950 British crime film directed by Ben R. Hart and starring Lionel Murton, Pamela Deeming and Ivan Craig. The film was a low-budget second feature, made with backing from the newly-formed distributor Apex Films. While it was criticised for its weak story, it received praise as a "commendable effort" which had achieved a certain amount of realism.[1]
