U-Boat 29 Ratings & Reviews
TV Guide
Veidt is sensational.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Powell fuses Pressburger's amusing detail work into a dapper study
Variety
Variety Staff
Veidt has a strong role for which he's admirably suited. Sebastian Shaw is excellent as the English naval officer. Valerie Hobson, as the other spy, is creditable.
Stylus Magazine
Sky Hirschkron
It's a peculiar and rather wonderful mismatch of subject matter and tone that, if not a success at elucidating great moral complexities of war, asks us to take unusual and perhaps unflattering pleasure in old intrigues.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A marvelous B film spy yarn.
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
U-Boat 29 is the most exciting spy melodrama since the advent of the Second World War.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The film is dark and beautifully textured, though not as visually rich as the later, higher-budgeted Powell pictures.
