It's tough trying to beat the 1934 version of the popular adventure-romance story, starring Leslie Howard as the 18th-century British hero who poses as a fop in London society but runs a secret mission to rescue the doomed in Robespierre's Paris. But this 1982 television version, starring Anthony Andrews (Under the Volcano) as the Pimpernel and Jane Seymour as his beloved but estranged wife, is quite a treat. Andrews and Seymour expertly capture the essence of a relationship suffering from misunderstandings and elusive passion, and there is plenty of crackle to the action sequences. Clive Donner (What's New, Pussycat?) brings some strong cinematic qualities to this television presentation. --Tom Keogh

DVD review January 24, 2010
Review King (Illinois)
Absolutely wonderful DVD -- great acting by all main characters and also some wonderful bit characters, such as the hapless guard at the Paris gate who keeps letting the Scarlett Pimpernel and the escaping French nobles through. No violence at all to speak of, the guillotining is imagined rather than shown in gory detail. The technical quality of the DVD was also fine.
My only comment is that there is a small amount of skin in the bedroom scenes between Armand and his girl friend, which unfortunately may make it unsuitable for some younger viewers. This is really too bad, because kids also would get a great kick out of this wonderful movie.
You HAVE to have this movie! January 16, 2010

"Sink me!" This is a must-have movie! And be sure to get the DVD version that has these actors (Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour). There are a few other versions from other dates, but this one is hilarious, while at the same time it has some drama. Most people have never heard of nor seen this movie, but trust me, it is a GREAT fun old movie to watch (many times even).
Loved it January 15, 2010

I just love this movie. My sister had shown it to me when I was younger and now I let my 12 watch it and she loved it. Very intriguing and humorous at times. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

This is a great movie. Good suspense, humor and story line, without graphic violence and crudeness. Great family movie.

I always enjoy this story, but this is one of the best interpretations. Anthony Andrews make an excellent Pimpernel. Thanks, Amazon!
