The Elusive Pimpernel

[MsBarnBum]

Anthony Andrews was great as Percy, but the the movie was almost nothing like the book...I was VERY disappointed...

[spikesbint]

@MsBarnBum I agree with you on that point. I have seen several versions of the SP and none have particularly followed the book.

[MsBarnBum]

@spikesbint That stinks! The book was SO good!

[VictoryAlTerrarules]

Anthony Andrews and Leslie Howard are by far the most handsome men, In my opinion ^^ But I think Leslie's version of the poem is better

[Ponygal1997]

Gandalf!!!

[kurisutokaochan]

He is fabulous. And the music you chose for the background gave it such a nuance. Great job.

[Christinasvenska]

This is by far the best miniseries! I first saw this when I was 8, and have loved Anthony Andrews ever since! I have it on vhs and dvd, and the book is my very favourite book....there is a series, but some of the other books are hard to find. They are all very good! Thanks for posting!

[shykaizen]

Anthony A. is such a perfect picture of the SP character! I love his acting:) the '82 version is my favorite!

[Elemiriel]

Anthony Andrews is SUCH a terrific actor! He makes me want to jump into my TV!

[everybodylovesbowie]

Anyone else think that his face looks exactly like the face of a lion cub? In a really really attractive way? :D

[abbamanic]

Sink me, you have taste sir. Savour it, by gad.

[XxXAmy13XxX]

[segorocky]

[miltonsfound]

This is a mini masterpiece right here. Thank you so much!

[kimberlymaurice]

[AriaInTheSky]

I remember watching this in history class, followed by "Lady Jane"(1986). Amazing movie(s) if I say so myself.

[MrGossardX]

I also saw this movie in History class. It was in the 10th grade when we did the French Revolution

[raverprodigy]

I love it although one would not want him to remain elusive around bedtime hahahh ;-)

[Fuamus]

Love it!

[crazyloverofcats]

I love this movie. it is one of my all time favorite movies.

[mysticmagic4760]

Thank you for this clip. One of my favorite films for a long time. Beautiful music as well.

[poshnile]

lovely ! greetings from sweden

[darkshines99]

Anthony Andrews is so pretty

[whattube8]

You should watch Bridehead Revisited, if you haven't already seen it. He is especially handsome in it.

[Lweven]

I absolutely love this movie! Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour are completely and utterly perfect in this movie!

[Leabharleannan]

I don't know how it would be possible to watch this movie and NOT get a crush on Anthony Andrews! =)

[ibanez6663123]

The 1982 version of the Scarlet Pimpernel is the best version. It's definitly one of my favorite.

[BlueEyedBat]

one of my favorite movies <3

[PapagenoJuan]

Hell Yea!!

I grew up with his movie. I remember pretending to be Percy in 5th grade lol

[ladyravenwave]

nice job

[malfoyphantom]

i love this movie! i just watched it for the frist time in my french class..and i find Anthony Andrews to be very good lookin! ;)

[kieghacat]

haha yeah he is abit of a cutey XP

[chanrandom]

why do you have to post these on every video!?

[rhi456]

This is the best scarlet pimp the new series with richard grant is terrible!!!

[spikesbint]

I agree, although I like Richard E Grant, AA is the best Pimpernel

[ABAisSCIENCE]

@rhi456, this is the best movie period.

[joejonasfan92]

I have a bit of a crush on him too(:

He's amazingg haha

nice video!

[spikesbint]

Thanks, yeah I still watch this every so often and I do not normally go for blond men but he has something about him and perfect for this role

[elizzievb]

This was great! I especially love the Handel. Lovely backdrop. Anthony Andrews - THE most gorgeous actor ever.

[spikesbint]

He is, and seemed made for the role, :D

[kieghacat]

hmm... maybe Johnny Depp scrapes in first XD

[elizzievb]

Ah, kieghacat, Johnny Depp is absolutely superb in every way, I agree wholeheartedly! Very intelligent too. Go look at a website called "DeepintoDepp" (I think). But ahead of AA?? Nah! Impossible to beat him, m'dear!

[westcra]

Beautifully done.

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[Sfaprincess924]

can you make a video that has the scene where they are in the library and without anything but the movie. no background music or anything. just what the movie is.

[spikesbint]

I would but of late youtube have had a habit of removing clips like that, I have had some deleted :(

[kerstinwernermironow]

The hairs of the actors are very special but I adore the movie. Very romantic. And the music...

[spikesbint]

I love the Scarlet Pimpernel, this version especially. :D

[nriab23]

Does anyone know where the film can be watched in full online? I just read the novel and this film I hear is supposed to be an excellent adaption of the book

[kieghacat]

it is XD Anthony Andrews brings alot of fun to the character, and I think he is what makes this movie

[jonasbrosfan4ever100]

go on youtube and type either "the scarlet pimpernel part 2" or '' cozypillowx " either way its under cozypillowx username.

[abbamanic]

"We seek him here, we seek him there, Those Frenchies seek him everywhere...Is He in Heaven, or is He in Hell? That damned..elusive..Pimpernel!" Love it, Anthony is THE Pimpernel!

[spikesbint]

I agree, he is just wonderful :)

[tintinlover123]

Dear Sir, This video completes me. I loved the movie and I couldn't have done this any better. Thank you. Plus, I'm rather mad that this is the only video with the good "They Seek Him" poem.

[spikesbint]

Glad you liked it, AA was so good as the Pimpernel and delivers the poem to perfection :)

[elizzievb]

Odds Fish, m'dear, but tisn't the only one! This vid is absolutely great, but there are many great vids out there - seek 'em under The Scarlet Pimpernel and you'll find 'em. Look for CheekySmiley-she loves AA madly and has the poem in hers too! :-)

[tintinlover123]

Sink me, but you're right

[MalcolmTearle]

What is the name of this wonderful music, as to the scarlet pimpernel, just great, in today's world, we need a Sir Percy, and his secret club.

[spikesbint]

The bit of music is by Handel and is called Sarabande :)

[MalcolmTearle]

Thankyou very much. Malcolm, (Grandmaster) Order of Philosopical Alchemist's.

[babygirlyasha]

i love this film !!! and this music vid very well made!! do you know were i could watch this online i've caught twice channel 5 but i've never seen it the whole way through!! its so annoying

[jonasbrosfan4ever100]

go on youtube type the scarlet pimpernel part 2 or under the username cozypillowx . either way its under that username.

[insanityrulestheday]

Superbly acted by Mr Andrews. My local MP THE SPEAKER at Westminster has proved to be more elusive than the 'Scarlet Pimpernel', and sink me if some heads will not be rolling soon at the blade of Madame Guillotine once more ???????

[spikesbint]

LOL :D

[ToriJackman]

love this movie

[JWade29]

Sink me,if that wasn't pretty good.

[gnrfreak808]

[spikesbint]

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[FranceNY09]

How wonderful, I absoultuely love this video! Thank you so much!

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[DragonflyChild]

Is it sad that i know exactly what they're saying and what is going on in each clip? I love this film! Classic.

[spikesbint]

Lol, I have watched it a lot myself, not got that good at remembering the lines yet though :D

[FranceNY09]

Sink Meh, for I have watched the movie many times myself. Your not the only one who dosen't have a life. LOL! Once again thank you.

[pimpdemb]

I would've liked this a lot more if I didn't have to write a paper on it.

[DaughterCortez]

Lol, it can take the joy out of it.

[evaMY98]

Goodness, I've watched this way back in high school, and somehow the poem that Pimpernel recited got stuck in my head till now! His stance, his facial expressions.....priceless! :))

Never thot I would see this again after sooooo long... Thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading this!

[spikesbint]

You are welcome, it had been years since I had seen it and then someone offered me the dvd and I didn't say no. :)

[silvermoonlass]

i love this movie. i had to watch it in high school as well you didn't by chance have Spatz did you? if you had him you would understand if not sorry to bug you.

[evaMY98]

Spatz? Ermmm, I'm afraid not silvermoonlass. Went to high school on the other side of the globe from where you are. Had to watch Scarlet Pimpernel as a class project of some sort... No worries there, though :))

[Bluetrunk]

I had to watch this year in school,

[spikesbint]

Did you like it?

[Bluetrunk]

the movie started off a little slow, but once i got into it i really enjoyed it.

[SAT9terminus]

E X Q U I S I T E !

You thought of everything..spikesbint...even the ring.

[spikesbint]

thank you :)

[segorocky]

AA is sooo great, and u're video is really beautiful^^ One of the best (from my opinion^^)

but can u remember me who did the music? I can't remember XD

[spikesbint]

The bit of music is called Sarabande, and it is by Handel :)

[segorocky]

thanx a lot^^ XD

[meb28]

Thanks for sharing this. I can also agree about having a crush on Anthony Andrews as well. And just a general mention has anyone ever though of posting the movie to YouTube? Your video is really good. I enjoyed it.

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[spinningisfun]

This was the first version of the Scarlet Pimpernel I ever saw and it's still my favorite. And I totally know what you mean about having a crush on Anthony Andrews after seeing it!

[spikesbint]

He was made for the role :D Years ago I saw the really old version, and also most of the Richard E. Grant one, but AA is still my favourite. :D

[yellowmnm15s]

I LOVE SIR PERCY!!! And AA! Amazing! Thank you!

[spikesbint]

He is wonderful, I just love his lines and AA was perfect in the role. :)

[yellowmnm15s]

Amen to that!

[PasAthene]

Well done! I LOVE this movie!! (and Sir Percy)

[spikesbint]

I love it too, AA was wonderful as Sir Percy :)

[DreamyViper]

Hey Angela! It's me--Jiaborama from C19. I'm glad you had seen the film and liked it! (Please give my thanks to your friend who gave you the DVD!) Anthony Andrews has been my very first crush for some 20 years.

You made lovely video to a beautiful song. I like that you included him reciting the poem. And I had watched Richard E. Grant version. I think the series is good in its own way.

[spikesbint]

hi :D I have the biggest crush on him at the moment, some people are born to play certain roles and I think this was his :) Yes I like the Richard E. Grant series too, I intend to get it sometime, but this is wonderful.

[DaughterCortez]

fantastic!! I'm going to go and watch this film with you right now whether you like it or not :P lol love ya and this vid YAY! hehe

Emma xxxxx

[Phantomstruelove]

I'm going to go and watch this film now!

[spikesbint]

I hope you get to see it, its really great, adventure, romance a little tragedy :D

[koniczynkaL]

Unfortunately this movie came a year earlier then I was born so I had no chance to see it LOL but I think Jane and Anthony look great :-) And I love the music!! Can you tell me what is it? Wondeful job, of course ^_^ 10/10 LOL

[spikesbint]

thanks, I was lucky enough to get the dvd given to me by a friend, I had not seen it before this weekend, I had only seen the Richard E. Grant version of it, which was very good too.

the music is called Sarabande and its by George Frideric Handel

[sgupta4]

WOW! Sir Ian McKellan was in it? It's been a long, long time since I've seen this movie. I'll definitely have to check it out again. Thanks for the reminder.

[spikesbint]

lol yes had he has lots of hair in it too, looks so young!
