Excellent
Anthony Andrews does an excellent Scarlett Pimpernel, and Ian McKellen does an excellent villain, not to forget Jane Seymour as the Scarlett Pimpernels unknowing wife-to-be. The love story is intertwined with the adventure in a very appealing way

Nostalgic novel.

It was a film she liked very much. Now I can watch it with my son and remember those presious moments we had together. The book is also very nice, easy reading material for a day at the beach or at home. br / br /Thanks very much.

Exciting and Romantic
I saw this film on TV recently and had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. I then purchased the DVD which came in a box set along with the book. I read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it [although like with most films, they differ from the book]. Anthony Andrews makes an excellent Scarlet Pimpernel. The film offers fantastic costumes, the rescues that the Pimpernel carries out and his disguises are excellent and if you are looking for escapism this is definately worth a watch. It's a film I don't think I could tire of. Needless to say you also have the romance aspect of the film too. It's a good all rounder and I rate it highly.

Another excellent version of this classiv adventure.
I said in my review of the Leslie Howard version that he and Anthony Andrews are each the perfect Sir Percy and only if I was forced to choose would I rate Leslie Howard No.1, simply because he's just a touch better at the English Gentleman/fop/secret adventurer. br / br /This exciting version of the classic story also includes the ElDorado sequel so it's double measures. br / br /When it comes to the villainous Chauvelin, the actor playing the part in the Leslie Howard movie is extremely good as a thuggish bully with a veneer that will get him by in society to someextent, but the Andrews version has the bonus of Ian McKellan as a very sophisticated, more subtle and decidely attractive Chauvelin whom you can well imagine Marguerite would have been interested in as a lover before Sir Percy turned up and stole her heart and through his activities as the Pimpernel revealed to her Chauvelin's devious treachery. br / br /If you want a DVD of this classic adventure, I'd advise you to buy this one and the Leslie Howard version as well. br / br /The TV version with Richard E. Grant is great fun and he makes a charming Sir Percy, but he hasn't quite got the magnetism of Howard and Andrews. br / br /
