Howard's PIMPERNEL SMITH by Orczy

They seek him here. They seek him there. Those Nazis seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? That damned illusive Pimpernel!

Leslie Howard updates the scarlet rescuer's story from the revolutionary era to world war and comes off kind of creepy. Is it his cover as academic hack that necessitates his mysogenistic rants? This hero should be a suave international sensation of resourcefulness. Leslie is just best boy at the boys school.

Leslie Howard fails to find any evidence of an original Aryan race. That is about all we can conclude with regards to this unfortunate propaganda film.
