The Vicious Circle (1948)

Description: Break it... or be broken! In Hungary, a rich baron discovers that there are extensive oil deposits underneath nearby properties owned by villagers. He manages to convince all the property owners to sell to him, except for a few properties owned by Jewish families. Infuriated at their refusal to sell to him, he attempts, with the help of some corrupt local police, to have the men charged with the murder of a local woman, who in reality actually committed suicide.

A clichéd plot that offered nothing new.

Cinematography was dull and didn't add much.
