The Only Way is a 1926 British drama film directed by Herbert Wilcox and starring John Martin Harvey, Madge Stuart and Betty Faire.[2] It was adapted from the play The Only Way which was itself based on the 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.[3] John Martin Harvey had been playing Carton in the play since 1899 and it was his most popular work. It cost £24,000 to make and was shot at Twickenham Studios.[4] The film was a commercial success and reportedly took over £53,000 in its first two years on release.[4] It was a particularly notable achievement given the collapse in British film production between the Slump of 1924 and the passage of the Cinematograph Films Act 1927 designed to support British film making.
