The Scarlet Pimpernel (DVD)

*New/Sealed*

Leslie Howard portrays the noble protagonist of this film, inspired by Baroness Emmuska Orczy's novel. By assuming the guise of Sir Percy Blakeney, a seemingly insipid British aristocrat, he gallantly comes to the rescue of innocent victims during the tumultuous French Revolution evenings. Throughout the day, he passionately woos his captivating wife, portrayed by Merle Oberson. Raymond Massey compellingly portrays Citizen Chauvelin, a formidable figure from the French Secret Police and the film's primary antagonist. The impact of this narrative cannot be underestimated. The enduring tales of modern-day champions who valiantly protect their oppressed citizens owe a considerable debt to the foundations established by this enduring character and his unwavering motivations.
