The tyranny of the leaders of the French Revolution becomes increasingly apparent and so something must be done. the Pimpernel, a master of disguise, sneaks once again into a turbulent and dangerous Paris to interject some common sense but there's a cadre of soldiers waiting to correct his misconception. Will despotism win again?!? Tepid look at an early James Bond-type espionage figure who manages to always be smarter than everyone else onscreen. James Mason, in an early role, cannot break the stupor.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
