He's not wrong, it is a good hat 🎩

One of my few complaints about this adaptation of #TheScarletPimpernel is that it omits this moment: "Pride has given way at last; obstinacy was gone: the will was powerless. He was but a man madly, blindly, passionately in love..."
If the French really wanted to find the Pimpernel, they'd put this guy on him:

We should bring back those high collars. Up to the ears or GTFO

"Here's a rig ol' Errol never thought of." 🪂

I’ve often wondered how much of her…complicated, let’s say, attitude towards her background had to do with shame around the circumstances of her birth and childhood in addition to the ethnic issues.

My English Teacher had us all watch the 1982 one when it was on television and everyone went around saying “Sink me!” #TCMParty #TheScarletPimpernel
That's one big ass collar, Raymond.

I love Raymond Massey being evil. And I love that he had a great time filming this. #TCMParty #TheScarletPimpernel
There was a history in Merle Oberon’s family of young women being s*’d and impregnated by older men, which was connected with the history of extreme power imbalances between white men and South Asian and/or Eurasian women during the colonial period.

He’s so shitty to her because he thinks she denounced noblemen to the French tribunal. #TCMParty #TheScarletPimpernel
Leslie Howard was born to play #TheScarletPimpernel. (As was Anthony Andrews!) #TCMParty
He’s funny but men’s fashions of this era are not terribly attractive. #TCMParty #TheScarletPimpernel

I love this sequence. All the who sir me sir no sir

Famous Pimpernel poem recited. Drink!

The artist is doing a bad job capturing this delicate beauty of Merle. #TCMParty #TheScarletPimpernel
Raymond Massey playing a douchebag. Drink!

So he just gets those three out but the rest of those names called just peace out to the guillotine? #TCMParty #TheScarletPimpernel
In 1949 the Archers made an adaptation of #TheScarletPimpernel titled #TheFightingPimpernel starring David Niven. It was originally supposed to be a musical, but all the numbers were cut except for Sir Percy's doggerel, "They seek him here, they seek him there..."
#TCMParty
I've long thought a crossover between A Tale of Two Cities and #TheScarletPimpernel would be fun. #TCMParty

They seek him here,
they seek him there,
those frenchies seek him everywhere,
is he in heaven is he in hell
that damned elusive pimpernel

aka Baroness Orczy

God the guillotine freaks me the FUCK out. #TCMParty #TheScarletPimpernel
Ooooh, I did not know Richard E. Grant had ever played Sir Percy! Color me intrigued!
