| Title: THE VICIOUS CIRCLE Year: 1957 Rating: **** |
At one point in the middle of THE VICIOUS CIRCLE, starring John Mills as a doctor falsely accused of murdering gorgeous actress Lisa Daniely, he winds up playing an idyllic round of golf with best friend Derek Farr...
Strangely enough, during an otherwise suspenseful daylight-to-nighttime journey... from back alleyways to random offices to immense concert halls... the audience and main character are actually allowed to cut from the chase...

Pushed into the desperate investigation on the true killer's identity while throwing doubts on even perfect girlfriend Noelle Middleton and seemingly affable Wilfrid Hyde-White... yet it's obvious from the start who the guilty party is (and that shady Lionel Jeffries definitely works for them)...
Which doesn't really matter since VICIOUS CIRCLE works more as a mazy thriller than mystery, combining the edgiest moments of espionage with the most intriguing aspects of a wrong man film noir.
