Sink me! I just realised that next year will be the 40th anniversary of the wonderful 1982 production of The Scarlet Pimpernel, with Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour and Ian Mckellen!
This is the adaptation which introduced me to the books and started a lengthy love affair with the characters. The cast are excellent, the screenplay combines two of Orczy's novels and the best lines from the 1934 film, there is actual swashbuckling AND the film stands the test of time!
Come on London Film Productions, surely this cult classic deserves a special edition DVD/Bluray - with extras!
