"I want to talk to you."
Update of the French revolutionary tale to wartorn 1940's Europe, as Professor Horatio Smith (Leslie Howard) plays at being a mild mannered Englishman, who really is spiriting people away from 1939 Germany. But the dreaded Nazi's naturally don't take kindly to this and will do anything to find out who Pimpernel Smith is and stop his antics, including blackmailing Ludmilla Koslowski (Mary Morris) into obtaining the information they need.
A wonderful wartime propaghanda piece, well played by Howard, helped by a good script.
British, Drama, Leslie Howard,
