Хоць яго можа і не быць у спісах класічных фільмаў, I love The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934) (affiliate link). It is an adaptation of the novel (affiliate link) з тым жа імем, напісана баранэсы Орци. Фільм пра ангельскага джэнтльмена, які рызыкуе жыццём, каб выратаваць французскіх арыстакратаў ад гільяціны. Сэр Персі Блэкні ажаніўся з Маргарыт, a French woman with ties to the revolutionary government.
Leslie Howard portrays Sir Percy Blakeney, and Merle Oberon plays his wife, Лэдзі Blakeney. Lady Blakeney does not know her husband is the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Still from the Scarlet Pimpernel
The film begins with the French revolutionary committee preparing to execute a family of aristocrats. Before the committee can transport the family to the guillotine, the Scarlet Pimpernel and his men spirit the aristocrats out of prison and across the channel to the safety of England.
After this latest escape, the French government sends a spymaster to England, Грамадзянін Chauvelin, portrayed by Raymond Massey, arrives from France to discover the identity of the Pimpernel.
In the past, Chauvelin tricked Lady Blakeney into betraying her friends. Chauvelin tries to force Lady Blakeney into helping him by threatening her brother Armand’s safety.
У рэшце рэшт, both Chauvelin and Lady Blakeney discover the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel. Both Chauvelin and Lady Blakeney rush back to France, one to kill Sir Percy and one to save him.

Born Leslie Howard Steiner in London, England on April 3, 1893, Leslie Howard served in the British Army during World War I. The army demobilized Howard in 1917 due to shell shock.
Howard’s doctor suggested acting to soothe Howard’s nerves. Over the next twenty-five years, Howard achieved film superstardom in the United States in England.
When World War II broke out, Howard stopped acting in commercial films. Howard made films for the army focused on promoting the war effort. A German airplane shot down the commercial plane, which Howard rode in on his way back from Portugal, over the Bay of Biscay. The German Air Force shot the plane down on June 1, 1943. Leslie Howard died at 50 гадоў.
Пунсовы Першацвет (affiliate link) runs about 90 minutes of fast-paced entertainment. Let me know what you think of the film.
