What is the correct title?

I'm British and I've only ever seen this film referred to as The Adventures of Tartu in Britain. It's a British film so it should be recorded under its British title. Everywhere I can see just refers to it as The Adventures of Tartu. Can anyone find any source that shows it as being called Sabotage Agent in Britain? -- SteveCrook (talk) 02:10, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BFI has it listed under both titles (though Sabotage Agent is put third), and IMDb gives it as its main title, for whatever that's worth. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The IMDb only puts it as its main title if you're in America and haven't yet changed your settings to show the original titles. Hit the Update button and you'll be updating The Adventures of Tartu :) I think I'll rename it here -- SteveCrook (talk) 23:36, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright status

I have deleted the links to the illicit hosting of this British film on Internet Archive and YouTube. Story writer John C. Higgins did not die until 1995, so UK copyright subsists until the end of 2065. As a non-US film still under copyright in its country of origin on 1 January 1996, it is protected in the US for 95 years after publication, so to the end of 2038.

Why focus on the portrayal of the Nazis?

By late 1943 many excellent films—and actors—had portrayed the Nazi military as murderous, lecherous, ambitious, treacherous men (and women) who were devoid of sympathy for their victims and (rightfully) terrified of their superiors. The year before, “To Be or Not to Be”, the black comedy starring Carole Lombard, Jack Benny—and a supporting cast of refugees—ridiculed the Nazis to far greater effect.

That subsection of dreck (not even part of production) snuck in here while I wasn't looking. It's gone to the Big Bitbucket in the Sky. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:11, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
