That was an excellent one.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

What made this film so excellent was the excellent plot twists. You go from moment to moment wondering who is for the good and who is for evil, even when in reality you know.Robert Donat is marvelous here as the English chemist who goes to Czechoslovakia to destroy a Nazi based gas plant. Along the way, he meets with the Hobson character, a Czech playing woman who appears on the onset to be a collaborator of the worst kind. Go know that she is really working for the Czech anti-Nazi underground.Glynis Johns appears briefly as the young lady who attempts sabotage in the film and then condemns herself to death as she realizes that Donat saw her do this and that he would blow his cover if he said otherwise.Exciting with a host of Nazi characters, one worse than the other.

*Spoiler/plot- 1943, A British Army native Romanian chemist is sent into learn about and destroy a Natzi poison gas and its factory plant.

The happy ending is story book, but satisfying. This film is fun and romantic from another time in filmmaking.

This excellent espionage film begins with newsreel footage of London being bombed in 1940. An unexploded bomb sits in the rubble, about to blow up whatever remains standing, including a bedridden child and his nurse. Robert Donat, as a British army captain, rushes in to defuse the bomb. What a wonderful way to begin a smart, engaging wartime thriller. Donat's army captain gets drafted to impersonate a German-speaking Rumaninan dandy, to infiltrate and destroy a German poison gas camp in Czechoslovakia. This is a side of the war, featuring Czech freedom fighters, that many people are unfamiliar with. This is a great film that belongs up there with Hitchcock's "Foreign Correspondant."

Robert Donat's Eastern European background and fluency in a few languages make him the ideal choice for British Secret Service to send on a mission to destroy a Nazi poison gas factory in occupied Czechoslovakia. In a brief prologue with Donat disarming a buzz bomb that landed in a hospital, we see an example of how he keeps his cool under fire.Sabotage Agent next has Donat in Czechoslovakia disguised as a refugee from the Nazi sympathizing Iron Guard of Romania. Donat moves effortlessly from the stiff upper lip British agent to the bumptious Jan Tartu of Romania. He keeps his wits about him pretty good in a whole bunch of situations.Especially since he loses his contact upon arriving in Czechoslovakia almost immediately and is flying blind. Another agent is Valerie Hobson who like Donat is always good. She's a Czech who's a collaborator officially, but is really working for the Czech underground. She doesn't know what to make of Donat. One thing is sure, her Nazi boy friend Walter Rilla is plenty jealous.I have to say that the action packed ending was a bit much. It was like Donat was trying to compete with Errol Flynn. Something a little more clever I would have expected from his character. This was more like something from James Bond.Nevertheless Donat and Hobson give good characterizations and also Glynis Johns as another Czech patriot gives a memorable performance.
