Review of "Pimpernel" Smith (1941) by Simon D — 17 Nov 2012
Leslie Howard is always an interesting actor to watch and in this film his charm and gentleness can now come across as old fashioned but at the time of making his manner was complete contrast to the Nazi soldiers. I can certainly recommend a watch but there's not enough there for a second viewing. For my money Leslie Howard in The First of the Few is his finest film.
The most remarkable thing about this film is its place in history - it was made in 1942! A superb piece of foresight and propaganda.
