Watching The Elusive Pimpernel (The Fighting Pimpernel, US) again, and I'm a bit mad with Powell and Pressburger, because this could have been so good! Quotes from the book and lines from the 1934 film, a great cast (even if they didn't all get on), actual French locations, French accents (for good or ill), Margot with red-blonde hair and blue eyes, and in Technicolor - oh, and the pepper scene, did I mention? But it's just such a weird mix of aborted musical, comedy and straight drama, that nothing really works. And the only copies available are poor quality, hence the caps. I love the scene where Marguerite discovers who the Pimpernel is, in this case by finding his disguises behind a mirror - she's in her night gown, with Percy's jacket over her shoulders, and she looks wonderfully girlish and vulnerable. So close!
