Landslide (Hungarian: Földindulás) is a 1940 Hungarian drama film directed by Arzén von Cserépy[1] and starring Antal Páger, Olga Eszenyi and Ferenc Kiss. Although ostensibly a romance film, it contained significant amounts of propaganda supportive of the policies of Hungary's far-right government.[2][3][4] It was based on a play by János Kodolányi.

The screenplay was written by Gyorgy Patkós. [5]

The film offered János Görbe the role that would allow his breakthrough.[6]
