Great locations, costumes and acting. Ian McKellen was outstanding as Chauvelin, the deceitful citizen responsible for arresting aristocrats and sending them, their wives and their children to the guillotine. IMHO, I would rate "The Scarlet Pimpernel" at 4.0 stars.
However, the swordfight with rapiers was unrealistic. The rapier is a stabbing weapon. You do not swing a rapier wildly to the side.
