The Scarlet Pimpernel

During the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, an English aristocrat appears to be a foolish fop while secretly helping condemned nobles escape France. As a relentless agent searches for the mysterious rescuer, the hero’s strained marriage and carefully maintained disguise become entangled in the danger.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like romantic historical adventures, hidden identities, witty dialogue, and classic performances; Not for you if you need fast pacing, frequent action, or modern storytelling, like A Tale of Two Cities.
