Jane Seymour Movie:

Editorial Review:
It's tough trying to beat the 1934 version of the popular adventure-romance story, starring Leslie Howard as the 18th-century British hero who poses as a fop in London society but runs a secret mission to rescue the doomed in Robespierre's Paris. But this 1982 television version, starring Anthony Andrews (Under the Volcano) as the Pimpernel and Jane Seymour as his beloved but estranged wife, is quite a treat. Andrews and Seymour expertly capture the essence of a relationship suffering from misunderstandings and elusive passion, and there is plenty of crackle to the action sequences. Clive Donner (What's New, Pussycat?) brings some strong cinematic qualities to this television presentation. --Tom Keogh

The Scarlet Pimpernel [Region 2] Reviews:
Great movie
2008-11-20 - This is a great movie. I watched probably 30 times as a kid and had lots of lines by Sir Percival Blakeney memorized. "Sink me! Your tailors have betrayed you!"

The best Pimpernel
2008-11-11 - I think this Anthony Andrews/Jane Seymour version is superior even to the Leslie Howard Merle Oberon version. In addition to Anthony Andrews skill in his various disguises, he also shows an athleticism that is lacking in the Leslie Howard version. The plot of the Jane Seymour/Anthony Andrews version is more complex than the Leslie Howard version with the addition of King Louis son.

It has to be one of the most entertaining period movies around.

Great Movie! Great Service!
2008-11-09 - We love this story, and have seen the old movie and the new musical version. This is our favorite movie version. The lead does a great job - playing the fool, and the hero! We recommend it for families - decent, exciting, suspenseful, romantic, and educational, - all while being so entertaining!

The Scarlet Pimpernel
2008-10-19 - This is an excellent movie about the French revolution. If you like period dramas, you'll love this movie. Anthony Andrews is absolutely perfect as the Scarlet Pimpernel and Jane Seymour is lovely as usual. Also you can see a much younger Ian McKellen, years before he played Gandalf in The Lord Of The Rings. I really enjoyed this movie and hope you will too.

Greatest Movie Ever
2008-10-12 - This movie is the best movie ever and Amazon got it to me on the day they said they would. It was in perfect condition.
