The Scarlet Pimpernel is a 1934 British adventure film directed by Harold Young and starring Leslie Howard
Merle Oberon
and Raymond Massey. Based on the 1905 play by Baroness Orczy and Montagu Barstow and the classic 1905 adventure novel by Orczy
the film is about an eighteenth-century English aristocrat (Howard) who leads a double life
passing himself off as an effete aristocrat while engaged in a secret effort to rescue French nobles from Robespierre's Reign of Terror. The film was produced by Alexander Korda. Howard's portrayal of the title character is often considered the definitive portrayal of the role. In 1941
