Scarlet Pimpernel (1935)
Chtěl jsem napsat o jednom z mých nejoblíbenějších filmů, Scarlet Pimpernel (1935). Je to adaptace románu stejného jména, napsal baronky Orczy. The film (partnerský odkaz) concerns an English peer, který riskuje svůj život tím, že uložením francouzských šlechticů z gilotině. The story is complicated by the fact the peer is married to a French woman, who was tricked into sending aristocrats to the guillotine.
2) The acting is superb. In one exchange between Sir Percy and Chauvelin, Sir Percy, who acts like a fop through much of the film, reads a poem that he has written about the Pimpernel with Chauvelin. One of the lines is “those Frenchies seek him every where.” Chauvelin placidly responds, “I like it, Sir Percy. Particularly that those ‘Frenchies seek him every where’ part.”
It is a great movie running just about 90 zápis. Many of the DVDs leave out the scene between Sir Percy and his brother-in-law Armand, which is one of the keys to understanding Sir Percy and his motivation.
