This 1941 update of The Scarlet Pimpernel finds British actor Leslie Howard reinventing one of his most popular characters as an absent-minded archaeology professor ingeniously smuggling victims of Nazi oppression out of Germany. Howard (Gone with the Wind), who left Hollywood to return to his native country during World War II, also directed this taut, entertaining adventure in a patriotic vein, including scenes in which his charismatic hero scientifically debunks the myth of Aryan superiority. Directed with a deft touch and edited for maximum excitement, Pimpernel Smith is at the very least an equal to Howard's 1935 version of The Scarlet Pimpernel (directed by Harold Young), and in some ways it is technically superior. An offbeat, unlikely piece of morale boosting during a terrible time, Pimpernel Smith is a pure pleasure. --Tom Keogh
