Review - The Scarlet Pimpernel (1999)

Another remake of the famous Scarlet Pimpernel, this one a series from 1999 starring Richard E. Grant as Lord Percy Blakeney aka the Scarlet Pimpernel. The stories do not show either the Royalists or Republicans (especially) in a very favorable light, which is quite interesting and, I suspect, quite accurate. The cast is good and the stories are enjoyable. Lots of good ideas for adventures and drama. My Grade: C+/B-
