"It is the height of the French Revolution’s reign of terror and Sir Percy Blakeney has a secret. By day, he is just another foppish British aristocrat. By night, he becomes the legendary SCARLET PIMPERNEL, a "caped crusader" for the 18th Century, who with sparkling wit and brilliant disguises, forms a secret league of followers to fight against the tyrants of the French Revolution."
"The Scarlet Pimpernel is "the noblest, bravest man alive," if he does say so himself. And he does. But in this second made-for-cable Pimpernel adventure, it will take all of his cunning, wit, and charm to keep his head while all others around him are losing theirs to the dreaded Mademoiselle Guillotine. Improbably recast as a swashbuckling hero, esteemed character actor Richard E. Grant (of the cult classic Withnail & I) once again ris ..."
