4.0 out of 5 stars 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars 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.

This review is from: Elusive Pimpernel [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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.

My favourite part is when--. Sorry, I really musn't spoil the movie.

"The Elusive Pimpernel" is available now. Watch this movie and you will come to love it as much as I do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for the DVD to be out!, April 2, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Elusive Pimpernel [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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)

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.
