1.The Scarlet Pimpernel (with Book) [1982] starring: Ian McKellen, Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour September 25, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.98 You Save: £13.01 (65%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £13.56
This is a fairly basic repackaging of the 1982 film - no extras on the DVD, and the book has the same cover as the box design. The quality of the film itself does look to be an improvement on the earlier release, with a slightly cleaner picture (though still with unavoidable scratches and 'pops'), but otherwise it is exactly the same as the 2004 Image Entertainment copy. I would recommend this to anybody who doesn't already have the DVD, as the book will hopefully prompt fans of the film to read the original novel by the Baroness Orczy, but it's not worth buying to try and 'improve' on the previous release. For any other devoted fanatics of the story like myself, it is always useful to have a back-up copy - and well done to London Films for ... Read More:

Great movie the scarlet pimpernel, the language is choice hell is mentioned once! The return however, is sad, lacking the punch, drive and plot of the original, still a great buy and worth watching over again just for the poem they seek him here........ and to watch Leslie Howard deliver the lines.

5.The Scarlet Pimpernel - Series 1 [1999] by: The Scarlet Pimpernel July 21, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.99
I really loved this version of the Scarlet Pimpernel. As a period drama it has everything. The portrayal of Percy by Richard E Grant was highly entertaining. His devilish wit, charm - not to mention timing, is superb. Elizabeth McGovern as Lady Marguerite Blakeney is beautiful, impulsive & vivacious. Roman Vibert gave Robespierre a truly reptilian & precious persona, suitably filling me with horror & revulsion. However, Martin Shaw as Chauvalin really steals the show. Monstrous – yet charming, cruel – yet gentle, cynical – yet vulnerable. His love for Marguerite bringing him almost to a point of balance as well as depth. Mr Shaw’s clear enjoyment of the role really comes through. Add ... Read More:

6.The Scarlet Pimpernel - Series 2 [1999] by: The Scarlet Pimpernel July 21, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
The first season of this production of 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' was fun, energetic and gave a distinct late-90s flavour to proceedings. Then someone had a brilliant idea for the second season: drop all the things that are best about the Pimpernel! Gone is Marguerite and instead we have a dreary procession of 'feisty' females who can't be true love interests as Sir Percy is still grieving for his wife, so the romance aspect is left in a bizarre limbo. One of the best aspects of the novels and any films since has been the somewhat unconventional relationship between Percy and his wife. Gone, too, is Chauvelin - and so the mind-games and complex relationship between Chauvelin, Percy and Marguerite is gone.The League has shrunk to one useless ... Read More:

8.The Scarlet Pimpernel [1982] starring: Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour, Ian McKellen, James Villiers, Eleanor David directed by: Clive Donner September 18, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £12.99
Clive Donner's 1982 Scarlet Pimpernel is an exciting blend of two Baroness Orczy novels, 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' and 'Eldorado' (written around the supposed rescue of the young Dauphin, when it was still historically unclear whether or not the son of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette might have survived the Revolution). Instead of trying to cram every last detail of the main story into the film (as with the 1934 Leslie Howard production), or completely losing all sense of the original template (the 1998 series), this film manages to stay true to the spirit of the books, and pay homage to its black and white predecessor, whilst creatively translating page to screen. This is the only Scarlet Pimpernel version to include Percy's romancing of Marguerite, ... Read More:

Excellent production! I bought this for the Scarlet Pimpernel, and know next to nothing about ballet, but the performances were entrancing - Polly Tring and Henry Perkins in the lead roles portraying the romance and torment of Sir Percy and Marguerite's troubled relationship far beyond their years. And the young dancer playing Chauvelin was the perfect villain, with a matchless sneer! For those not fans of ballet, the opening scene goes on a little too long, but the rest of the story is told with creative application - I loved the devices of a red handkerchief as the Pimpernel's calling card and a locket given to Pascale (Marguerite's 'sister') in the scene where Chauvelin blackmails Marguerite with his 'either-or'. The disguises - always a must, with the Pimpernel! ... Read More:
