  • The Shining Steel Of Love Lights a Dark Moment In History

    The Scarlet Pimpernel began as a 1905 novel which has received multiple treatments by filmmakers. This 1982 film stars the undisputed queen of made-for-TV movies, Jane Seymour. The story is simultaneously snarky and serious, filled with both humor and pathos. The setting is the French revolution and the populist excesses of that time in history. The plot turns on the fact that our hero, played by Anthony Andrews, is a seriously misunderstood nobleman of the English royal court. This misunderstanding threatens to crush his budding romance with Seymour. The villain is played by Sir Ian McKellen, two-time Academy Award winner, best known for his role as Gandalf the Grey. As the action unfolds, Andrews' character (The Scarlet Pimpernel) is slowly revealed to be considerably more than his public reputation would support. The love story is sincere and genuine, culminating in arguably the greatest sword fight in cinematic history. Highly recommended!

  • Don't judge a movie by its cover.

    The future of France is in his hands! This movie may seem old and weird at first glance, but it is worth your time. It is such a good movie. There's adventure, romance, and betrayal. This movie is a classic.

  • Beautifully and courageously created but requires patience

    Starts slowly but we learn who the characters truly are at same time they do, which creates a nice tension to the plot. Amazing period costumes and settings are like jewels throughout the film. Quite long so may want to incorporate an intermission...

  • Scarlet Pimpernel

    This movie is entertaining, There are funny scenes, serious scenes and even a little scarier scenes. all ages can enjoy the movie, my 14 year old grandson found the movie humorous and a little educational. He asked some questions during the movie so he could understand the movie. 2 days later we watched it again and he said it was a great movie, I would recommend this movie to everyone

  • Incredible film!

    This is one of the best cinematic masterpieces ever produced. The characters are engaging, the dialogue is incredible, and Sir Percy Blakeney is the single most watchable character ever written or played.
