درباره این فیلم

The tumbrels roll through the streets of Paris, carrying enemies of the new French Republic to their appointments with “Madame Guillotine.” But to the revolutionaries’ fury, more than a few of France’s hated aristocrats have escaped execution thanks to the actions of a dashing young Englishman known as the Scarlet Pimpernel (Anthony Andrews, Brideshead Revisited). One aristocrat interests him above all the rest, the beautiful Marguerite St. Just (Jane Seymour, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). In his pursuit of Marguerite, he has a dangerous rival, Citizen Chauvelin (Ian McKellen, The Lord of the Rings, X-Men)—a revolutionary leader charged with tracking down the elusive Pimpernel. Based on the classic novel by Baroness Orczy, this adaptation of the swashbuckling tale aired on CBS and was nominated for three Emmy® Awards, including outstanding drama special.

One of the best romance movies of all time, definitely my favorite. I first watched it when I was little and have been obsessed with it ever since.

Absolutely one of the most romantic and heroic movies of all time. A man and fellow patriots stood against the aristocracy of the day on behalf of the people.

It's beyond a shadow of a doubt, the finest adaptation of this story ever. Anthony Andrews personafies Sir Percy Blakeney.
