The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982)
In deze verfilming van Barones Orczy's klassieke avonturenverhaal, zien we hoe tijdens de Franse Revolutie een geheimzinnige Engelse edelman, bekend als de Scarlet Pimpernel, Franse aristocraten op spectaculaire wijze van de guillotine redt. Achter het masker van deze mysterieuze held gaat de Engelse dandy Sir Percy schuil. Percy wordt verliefd op de jonkvrouw Marguerite St. Just en het tweetal maakt plannen om te trouwen. Maar Marguerite is een goede kennis van Paul Chauvelin, de man die de opdracht heeft om de Scarlet Pimpernel te doden. Chauvelin gaat over lijken op de Scarlet Pimpernel te pakken te krijgen, maar de Pimpernel is slimmer dan hij denkt.
