      andy p Interesting plot - watch it on Youtube (no commercials). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member OK WWII pic post WWII Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review ashley h A Circle of Deception is a decent film. It is about a soldier who is sent on a doomed mission because of the high likelihood of him divulging secrets if captured and tortured. Bradford Dillman and Harry Andrews give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Jack Lee did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama.
