A Woman Gets a Start (Hungarian: Egy asszony elindul) is a 1949 Hungarian drama film directed by Imre Jeney and starring Klári Tolnay, Ferenc Ladányi and Lajos Básti. It was shot at the Hunnia Studios in Budapest. The film's sets were designed by the art director József Pán. The director's script underwent a number of changes during shooting due to intervention by the authorities, who insisted on an espionage element to the plot.[1]

Synopsis

A woman from a middle-class background goes to work in a factory in the new Communist Hungary and proves very successful at her job. However, her husband plans to steal the secret of a new welding machine and sell it in the West.
