Recording label: Vestron Video EAN: 9780784001844Binding: VHS TapeISBN: 0784001847Format: Color, NTSC, Release Date: 1996-05-21Universal product code (UPC): 028485144675Number of discs: 1Audience rating: NR (Not Rated)Amazon.com It's tough trying to beat the 1934 version of the popular adventure-romance story, starring Leslie Howard as the 18th-century British hero who poses as a fop in London society but runs a secret mission to rescue the doomed in Robespierre's Paris. But this 1982 television version, starring Anthony Andrews (Under the Volcano) as the Pimpernel and Jane Seymour as his beloved but estranged wife, is quite a treat. Andrews and Seymour expertly capture the essence of a relationship suffering from misunderstandings and elusive passion, and there is plenty of crackle to the action sequences. Clive Donner (What's New, Pussycat?) brings some strong cinematic qualities to this television presentation. --Tom Keogh
