This is a VHS transfer.

In this costume adventure set in France during the Reign of Terror, a mysterious man known only as the Scarlet Pimpernel rescues noblemen from the guillotine and leads them to safety across the English Channel. Chauvelin (Cyril Cusack) is determined to unmask the Pimpernel and bring him to justice. When evidence begins to suggest that the hero is actually foppish Sir Percey Blakeney (David Niven), Chauvelin blackmails Percey's wife, Marguerite (Margaret Leighton), into cooperating on the threat that he'll expose the criminal activities of her brother Armand (Edmund Audran). Co-written and co-directed by Emeric Pressburger.

Reviewer: Patrick Hunter from Panorama City, CA United States  
Yes, it's from a VHS but it's very watchable in terms of picture quality.

5 of 5 The Pimpernel in Technicolor October 9, 2014
Reviewer: Walter Wade from New York, NY United States  
Saw this flick years ago on late night TV.  Hasn't been around since and out of print.  This Technicolor version is great fun, and Margaret Leighton was never lovelier.
