Once again, The Hollywood Revue has reviewed another of my favorite movies, The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934). Aside from Leslie Howard in the title role, the film stars Merle Oberon and Raymond Massey. Best remembered as playing Ashley Wilkes in Gone With The Wind, Howard is (in my opinion) much better as a English aristocrat than a Southern gentleman. Massey plays Citizen Chauvelin, an agent of the French government who pursues the Pimpernel; and who becomes one of those cold-blooded but charming villains that you start to respect during the film.Wednesday, September 23, 2015
