This article presents information on several motion pictures. It is informed that "The Illegals," a film about the underground railroad through Europe to Palestine, was made on the spot, under heartbreaking difficulties by Meyer Levin. It is informed that "Vicious Circle," starring Fritz Kortner, Reinhold Schunzel and Conrad Nagel is a movie about persecuted Jews in Hungary. The author opines that the movie is very badly written and directed. Another movie titled "So Evil my Love," presents a story about a sinister artist who tempts an innocent widow into passion and crime. It is opined that the movie has very likeable performance by Ann Todd but is an overelaborated, psychosexual period melodrama.
