Merry Go Round (1955) - Zoltan Fabri 

Certainly a product of its time and country this film was immensely popular in it's native Hungary and was considered a fore-runner for some of the monumental films of the new wave. Fabri had a second career as an actor and appeared in The Witness in 1968. Here however he fashions a somewhat simple tale of a young couple who seem to have everything going against their union. Their families are on opposing sides of the spectrum as the girl's family is very much resisting the move for collectivization, and the young man is one of its strongest advocates. With a few well placed camera angles and a bit of compromise our lovers do wind up with something of a happy ending. Fabri's films as a director are largely unavailable here and seems better known based on reputation rather than people actually seeing his films.
