An adventurer is hired by a German millionaire to help a Polish scientist escape to the West.
It was the first feature for Michael Carreras and was shot on location in Polperro,[1] London, and Hamburg.[2]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Break in the Circle is a schoolboy adventure yarn, moving quite fast along heavily American-influenced lines. Occasionally, however, the profusion of bullets, fights and escapes strains the credibility necessary even to this type of entertainment. The characters are stock inventions and are played as such, and the dialogue (notably that of the hero) deals too freely in a stale wisecracking idiom. Efficient use is made of the location backgrounds, and the quality of the colour is good. A rousing romp for the unsophisticated."[3]
