Cowboy stuff with a European accent, "Tartu" is a good presentation of the way the war is probably not being won, but it's still a satisfying evening's entertainment.

Robert Donat plays the title role--that of a Balkan Man of Mystery whom everyone (except the audience) suspects of Nazi sympathies--and makes the most of his shadow-lurking appearances. His support, which includes spies, Gestape agents, saboteurs and the like--all a congenial crew--is adequate and, at times, pretty darn good.
