The Lyons Mail is a 1931 British historical mystery adventure film directed by Arthur Maude and starring John Martin Harvey, Norah Baring, and Ben Webster.[1] It was based on the 1877 play The Lyons Mail by Charles Reade which in turn was based on his 1854 play The Courier of Lyons.[2] The film was also released under the alternative title Courrier de Lyon. It had previously been made into a 1916 silent film The Lyons Mail. The story is based on the Courrier de Lyon case. It was shot at the Twickenham Studios in London.[3] Filmed in 1930, it was to be leading actor John Martin-Harvey's only sound film.
