Pimpernel Smith is a 1941 adventure film, directed by and starring Leslie Howard, which updates The Scarlet Pimpernel story from Revolutionary France to pre-World War II Europe. The film features an early screen appearance by David Tomlinson.

This movie is especially notable for helping to inspire Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg to mount a real-life rescue operation in Budapest that, conservatively estimated, saved tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews from Nazi concentration camps.

A seemingly absent-minded archeology professor, Horatio Smith (Howard) helps refugees escape from the Gestapo. During one daring rescue, he is wounded, which reveals his secret to his admiring students. They enthusiastically join him in his fight. But things are complicated when one of his students brings him a mysterious woman in distress, Ludmilla Koslowski (Morris). When her father's life is threatened by the Gestapo, she is forced to secretly work for the enemy. Smith engages in a game of cat-and-mouse with his ruthless adversary, General von Graum (Sullivan), who has been assigned to track him down.

DVD-R IS IN ENGLISH. VHS QUALITY FILM WITH SLIGHT SOFTNESS. SEPIA TONED FILM. APPROXIMATELY 120 MINUTES
