Info

In the sixteenth film in the series, in 1917, Indiana Jones is working to get Austrian deserters safely to the allies side in the Italian Alps. In his spare time, he is wooing an Italian beauty named Guiletta. When he finds out another man is vying for her attention, Indy and his new pal, ambulance driver Ernest Hemingway, make plans to crush Indiana's competitor by smothering Guiletta with presents and compliments. Afterwards, Indiana is begrudgingly ordered to Casablanca to find a traitor who is selling arms to the Berber rebels. Traveling incognito, he is joined by American novelist Edith Wharton and journalist Lowell Thomas. Indy and Edith soon find themselves attracted to each other despite their age difference.

The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Tales of Innocence Audience Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Alain English This next adventure in the exploits of a young Indiana Jones (played by the always watchable Sean Patrick Flanery) is something of a mixed bag.In the first segment, Indy is posted to the mountains of North Italy where, between smuggling German deserters across the battlefield, he finds time to compete with none other than Ernest Hemingway (Jay Underwood), for the affections of a young woman. The supposed comedy in this segment is excruciating, and Jay Underwood's playing of Hemingway comes off as nothing but smug.Much better is the second segment, where Indy is sent to Morocco where his French superiors are faced with an uprising from their enemies among the natives, who are being supplying with arms from a mysterious source. Indy meets the writers Edith Wharton (Clare Higgins) and Lowell Thomas (Evan Richards), who are well-played and have a good scene where they debate the virtues of writing fiction (Wharton) as opposed to journalism (Thomas). It's nice to see Roshan Seth (who played one of the villains in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom") pop up here as the more benign Sheikh Kamal, and British actor David Haig is good fun as a treacherous Colonel.If you can skip the mishap of the first segment, the intrigue and adventure of the second part more than make up for it.
Vedek The first episode, in northern Italy, is light, romantic fare (Young Indy, what else?)delightful comedy. Indy does something heroic, but the main plot takes place in town, competing for Giuletta's attention. The second part, in Morocco, is back to James Bondian adventure, and is very well done. Indy, as an intelligence officer, discovers dirty doings in the Foreign Legion. Coincidentally, he romances Edith Wharton a la "40 Carats" (See it. You'll love it!) Some women, perhaps twentysomethings, may not like (or understand) the "May/December" romance of a twentysomething Indy for a fortysomething Edith, but it's truly moving. This is Episode 16. What can 17 hold in store?
