The phantom adventurer returns... more reckless, more daring than you've ever seen him before!"; similar to "Zorro", The Scarlet Pimpernel was a mild-mannered English lord who transformed into the hero The Scarlet Pimpernel, and no one suspected him because the two men were so different; this was a sequel to "The Scarlet Pimpernel", made in 1934 with Leslie Howard in the title role; it seems likely that Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster must have seen the first Scarlet Pimpernel movie prior to creating Superman, for Clark Kent certainly owes much to Percy Blakeney!) starring Barry K. Barnes (in a dual role, as both The Scarlet Pimpernel and Percy Blakeney), Sophie Stewart, Margaretta Scott, James Mason, and Frances Lister NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
