	Pimpernel Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Pimpernel Smith Review: A&E used to show this old movie every so often; the print was in awful condition and yet, despite its technical difficulties, Pimpernel Smith was a compelling film.
		However, Smith is in reality a man who uses his position as an archaelogy researcher to travel throughout Europe, and beneath the absent-minded veneer is someone with quiet nerves of steel.
		Pimpernel Smith is a close copy of its older cousin The Scarlet Pimprnel, but with a few important differences.

	The Scarlet Pimpernel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other of her works are related to the series, including The Laughing Cavalier (1914) and The First Sir Percy (1921), about an ancestor of the Pimpernel's; Pimpernel and Rosemary, about a descendant; and The Scarlet Pimpernel Looks at the World (1933), a depiction of the 1930s world from the point of view of Sir Percy.
		The Scarlet Pimpernel is often cited as an early (perhaps the earliest) precursor of the superhero of American comic books: he is an independently wealthy person with a secret identity which he maintains in action by disguises, while in public life he appears as a politically irrelevant dandy to draw attention away from himself.
		Marguerite Blakeney, wife of the foolish, foppish and wealthy Sir Percy Blakeney, is of French origin, and is flmailed by the wily French ambassador to England, Citizen Chauvelin, into betraying the Pimpernel — without realising that he is one and the same as her seemingly silly husband.

		As the title suggests this movie is a kind of remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
		The film was not shown in Sweden because it is anti-Nazistic, the films look on Germans isn’t exactly flattering, they’re just violent, dumb and without any sense of humour.
		Smith fools them every chance he gets with his sophistication and witticism — he makes them look like complete fools very much like Sherlock Holmes contra dr Moriarty.

	Talkin' Broadway - Sound Advice: 12/3/99
		Four tracks from the updated 98/99 Broadway mounting (Ver 2.0 for those keeping tally) have been preserved, as well as two prior tracks from the earlier concept album; otherwise, the disc is identical to the OBC recording.
		Rex Smith (‘Chauvelin’) is unfortunately not able to compare with Terrence Mann’s splendid performance on the former recording.
		This recording is chiefly a small memento for anyone who caught the second version of Pimpernel, or perhaps for fans of one of the stars (and, thankfully, Douglas Sills' bravura performance has been left alone).

	Leslie Howard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Born Leslie Howard Steiner in London, Howard's classic good looks won him his first screen role in a 1914 silent film, following which he served in World War I, his military career being cut short by injury.
		Howard proceeded to play stiff-upper-lipped Englishmen in films such as Berkeley Square (1933, for which he was nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award), The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), Pygmalion (1938) (in which he played Professor Higgins, and earned another Oscar nomination), and Pimpernel Smith (1941).
		This image helped win him the role of Ashley Wilkes in Gone With the Wind (1939), but he was uncomfortable with Hollywood and returned to Britain to help with the war effort.

		This time, the whole show is about Percy Blakeney (the brave, noble, and outrageously campy Douglas Sills) and his fey band of compatriots fighting the nasty French Revolutionary Chauvelin (William Paul Michals).
		Once the requisite injustice has been perpetrated on Blakeney's friends and he marries the beautiful Marguerite St. Just (Amy Bodnar), he shifts into gear as the savior of the people by pretending to be a limp-wristed fop.
		Baroness Orczy's 1905 novel has been remarkably enduring, spawning a series of Pimpernel movies, the first with Leslie Howard as Blakeney and even a later spin off, also starring Howard set in World War II, called Pimpernel Smith.

		In the glory days of Broadway, these sorts of changes would have been made on the road; it's a bit disconcerting that the producers are in effect saying "never mind" about the earlier version, which, after all, did score a Tony nomination for Best Musical.
		Helping in this regard are Smith's drop-dead handsomeness and gorgeous voice, which make his character a more credible romantic threat.
		Marguerite's character is stronger, to the point where she even jumps in to rescue the Pimpernel during his climactic sword fight.

		Davis hardly invented the hero with a secret identity; Baroness Orczy's Scarlet Pimpernel is often cited as the first, with Johnston McCulley's Zorro another important pre-pulp precursor.

	Britmovie - The Scarlet Pimpernel
		Set in 1793, a band of British gentlemen led by the outwardly foppish aristocrat Sir Percy Blakeney (Leslie Howard), use a variety of disguises to liberate as many French noblemen as possible from the guillotine during the purges that followed the French Revolution.
		Sending the French nobles to the relative safety of England, Percy leaves behind only a small red flower at the scene of his rescues - a pimpernel - and is thus given the moniker of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
		Robespierre (Ernest Milton) is concerned by the series of daring aristocrat rescues, and suspecting English involvement, sends his ambassador, Chauvelin (Raymond Massey), to London to ascertain the true identity of the Pimpernel.

	Shakespeare Fellowship Discussion Boards: Who Says Leslie Howard Was an Oxfordian? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		If there is something stronger to support the Howard claim than the lines from Pimpernel Smith, why are those lines used instead of something Howard, as Howard, actually said?
		However, the clearest evidence for Howard's seriousness of interest in the Shakespearean question is Pimpenel Smith itself.
		If one follows your line of reasoning, one would eventually be arguing that Howard might not have thought that Nazism was evil -- for such a conviction, after all, even though the film's predominating theme, iis expressed primarily by Horatio Smith and not by Howard in propria persona.
