The Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel

Family Friendly Reviews Posted by Chris on May 14, 2013

Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” but not as good as the first Scarlet Pimpernel with Leslie Howard previously reviewed. This time the hero is played by Barry K. Barnes and his wit and his clever escape tricks don’t have the same charm as the earlier film but if you enjoyed the read more
