pimpernel smith (1941)

aka Mister V.
"You are doomed captain of murderers." It's 1939 and archeologist Professor Horatio Smith (Leslie Howard) has his thoughts on higher things than the forthcoming war, taking a group of students on a dig in Germany. Only things are not what they seem, and Smith is really undertaking a perilous venture, smuggling enemies of the Reich out of the country...
Stylish and classy bit of anti-nazi propaganda. Updating the setting from Napoleonic times to that of WWII.
