Pimpernel Smith
- Synopsis
- Feature propaganda film and a wartime sequel to The SCARLET PIMPERNEL (d. Harold Young, 1934) also starring Leslie Howard. In the weeks prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, an English archaeologist is responsible for a series of daring rescues of important scientists and humanitarians from Nazi-occupied territories. There are jokes involving Von Graum’s inability to understand British humour, and his claim that scholars have proven that Shakespeare was German.
