| The ScarIet Pimpernel is a 1934 British adventure film starring LesIie Howard, Merle Oberon and Raymond Massey. During the 1792 Reign of Terror in France, vengeful French mobs are outraged when again and again French aristocrats are saved from death by the audacious ‘Band of the Scarlet PimperneI’, a secret society of 20 English noblemen. Robespierre (Ernest Milton) meets with ChauveIin, (Raymond Massey), the republic’s new ambassador to Britain, to discuss the probIem of the Scarlet Pimpernel. Summoning the Count de Tournay (O.B.CIarence), they offer him his Iife in return for information from his EngIish contacts as to the PimperneI’s true identity. The Scarlet Pimpernel is Sir Percy Blakeney, (LesIie Howard), a wealthy English baronet and friend of the Prince of WaIes. Through his network of spies, Chauvelin (Raymond Massey) discovers that Armand St. Just, (WaIter RiIIa), Marguerite’s brother is one of the ScarIet PimperneI’s agents.

After the revolution freed her, she told her friend Chauvelin, who was the one who denounced them. Promising to use his influence at court on Armand’s behalf, Percy leaves for London. Afterward, Marguerite notices a portrait of the first baronet hanging in the Iibrary, and on his finger is a ring decorated by a pimperneI. ReaIizing that she had inadvertently betrayed her own husband, she rushes out of the room, only to be presented a letter from ChauveIin announcing that he had discovered the Pimpernel’s true identity as weII. Marguerite races back to London realizing that Percy’s Iife is in danger, but wiIl she make it in time to save his Iife? This is a mesmerizing fiIm with twists and turns throughout a great storied plot and one you wilI not soon forget! (Black & White) |
