Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Elusive is Correct
If I hadn't already read the book and watched the movie version with Jane Seymour and Anthony Andrews, this would have been a hard movie to follow. David Niven does a great job acting for the time period it was filmed (1950) but the VHS is blurry and the audio is not great.
Best off to buy the VHS or DVD version of "The Scarlett Pimpernel" with Jane Seymour. It is most entertaining and I never get tired of it.
Rating:  - Can't wait for the DVD to be out!
Great movie, filmed mostly on site with some very nice castles in the Loire Valley or Mt St-Michel. Costumes, history, humour, mystery and romance.. Very much worth to see. Oh, and don't miss out the young Patrick Macnee (John Steed, The Avengers) beside David Niven!! :o)
Rating: - Sparkling with witty dialogue and a hero after my own heart.
This great movie captures the spirit of the book--with several improvements on the original too. David Niven gives a wonderful portrayal of Sir Percy Blakeney(bart.) Although the film was made a long time ago, the characters' refreshing sincerity comes through.
The film starts off in the typical "Scarlet Pimpernel" method--France, Mme. la Guillontine, the old hag, a thrilling carriage chase--but as it progresses, it starts to take on a familiar, yet refresshingly unique look.
