Customer Reviews

They seek him here; they seek him there.

They seek him here; they seek him there Them Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in Heaven? Is he in Hell? That d-a-m-n-e-d elusive pimpernel. By Sir Percy Blakeney/The Scarlet Pimpernel (Leslie Howard) Based on the novel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. It is the French Revolution, and everyone is losing their heads. Sir Percy Blakeney must fake being ridiculed and may even lose the love of his life, Lady Marguerite Blakeney (Merle Oberon). This is necessary to save their friends from the guillotine. How long can he pull this off while right next to him is Citizen Chauvelin (Raymond Massey), who is trying to track down The Scarlet Pimpernel? He even threatens Marguerite with the life of her brother to find the Pimpernel. The story, originally a play, then a novel, has been remade and in some ways improved through the years. However, this version will always be the classic that others are measured by.
