I really love this version of the Scarlet Pimpernel. It does a wonderful job of portraying the public Percy as an incredible fop and a fool while showing that the private Percy is actually a very intelligent and brave hero.

Seeing Sir Percy emasculate poor Chauvelin, in front of his beloved no less, is one of the most entertaining and brutal scenes in television history, bar none. I'faith, we could all stand to learn something from Sir Percy.

Anthony Andrews, like Jeremy Brett, excelled in period stories (Danger UXB, Brideshead Revisited, and here). It's hard to believe such a handsome, graceful, charming actor could be living in our graceless times.

Dig it! A lot of the tropes with Scarlet Pimpernel: secret identity and disguises during "missions", signature/calling car, portraying themselves as effete or meek, ability to scheme/outwit the opponent are all now commonplace with masked heroes from Zorro to Batman using them due to Orczy's novel.

HOGEFAN Not for me. I think Mr. Andrews struck just the right balance between seriousness and humor necessary to play Percy convincingly, especially in his ability to change "roles" (fop, dashing mystery hero, ardent suitor to reluctantly estranged husband and back again) seemingly as easily as flipping a switch. For me, it's mostly in the eyes. Here, for example, he's so clearly laughing silently at the irony of the situation before him, but only shows the fop, no matter how he might wish to behave otherwise just now.
