Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 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

Great period classic
This is a great story that has been well told. Wonderfully cast and very funny. If you like period dramas then this is worth a look.
The dvd is in great condition and was delivered quickly. Thanks for the great service.

Love this Movie!
I love this movie, I must have seen it at least 20+ times. This is my favorite version of the Scarlet Pimpernel. This movie has it all romance, mystery, action, and suspense. This movie was very intelligently written and directed. Great movie!

They seek him here...
The Scarlet Pimpernel in and of itself is an adventurous tale encircling the hero Sir Percy Blakeney and his role as the Scarlet Pimpernel. Add to this tale the talent of Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour, and Ian McKellen and you have a thrilling movie that will not disappoint the viewer. The acting in this version of the film brings each character to life. The love between Percy and Marguerite in this version of the film seems genuine and intense. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has taken the time to view this page... it is a classic!

They just don't make movies like this anymore
They just don't make movies like this anymore. I loved the whole movie. It's funny, touching, and inspires bravery. The closest movie I've ever seen to this is The Princess Bride, which is my favorite movie.

Romantic but a bit slow
Although I love the actors in this version, if you're looking for action, the B&W version is a bit better. But the beauty of the color, costumes and people is wonderful. Jane Seymour is the ultimate beauty and I couldn't wait until she knew her love was the hero and the hero was her love.
