05/12/2018 Good caper... some odd plot lines and technical issues. Donat over-acts a bit... See more 03/25/2015 Standard WWII espionage tale replet with predictable plot, ham acting and one dimensional Nazis. At least the climatic scene was suspenseful.. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 07/28/2012 The Adventures of Tartu is an excellent film. It is about a British soldier who is fluent Rumanian and German that goes undercover at a German factory. Robert Donat and Valerie Hobson give amazing performances. The screenplay is well written. Harold S. Bucquet did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. The Adventures of Tartu is a must see. See more 04/10/2012 good wwii story from wwii See more 10/28/2011 Watch it for free on online :) See more 03/03/2009 Robert Donat, Valerie Hobsen and Glynis Johns help keep this espionage thriller entertaining. At the same time though, the grim behind enemy lines setting (interesting focus on wartime Czechoslovakia) doesn't always mix well with the lighter elements. Overall though it remains unique and suspenseful and is worthwhile, especially if you enjoy the leads. See more Read all reviews
