Sink me, this is one movie that's perfectly cast and that I can watch over and over. Over the years, I become more and more impressed with Howard's comic timing while playing Sir Percy. One can only agree with the Price of Wales: "Why, damn me, Percy, you're brainless, spineless, useless: But you do know clothes!"rcoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102201338319611538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-11673140304153728612015-02-17T05:12:11.232-08:002015-02-17T05:12:11.232-08:00A perfect movie to watch hundreds of times.

I remember enjoying Anthony Andrews, but have not watched it since it first aired. Do you think I'm past due?

Leslie Howard makes playing Sir Percy/The Pimpernal look easy, but it's a role that proved difficult even for the likes of David Niven. (Anthony Andrews may be my second favorite Pimpernal). I'm glad you mentioned PIMPERNAL SMITH, which is a vastly entertaining film in its own right.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
