The Adventures of Tartu (1940)
Captain Terence Stevenson with the British Army is part of the bomb disposal unit in London, his primary job to defuse them. Despite having no experience as a spy, he is asked by his superiors, because of his academic background as a chemical engineer and being fluent in Romanian and German, to lead a spy mission deep in Nazi occupied territory.
Director: Harold S. Bucquet
Writers: John Lee Mahin (screenplay), Howard Emmett Rogers (screenplay), John C. Higgins (original story)
Stars: Robert Donat, Valerie Hobson, Walter Rilla
Taglines
A BEAUTIFUL GIRL! A DANGEROUS MISSION! (original poster-all caps)
Trivia
The poem that Robert Donat and the others quote is from English poet William Wordsworth: "I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils".
Goofs
The SS uniforms have the collar tabs reversed - the SS rune should be on the right and the rank insignia on the left.
Quotes
Capt. Terence Stevenson: Well - take care of yourself - I'll turn up again before you know where you are!
Alternate versions
American version completely re-edited with some voiceover and numerous scene changes. Notable was the elimination of the scene where Robert Donat visits his mother (played by Mabel Terry-Lewis) right after he receives his assignment. As it was her only scene, she did not appear in the American version.
