DIDN'T ANYONE RECOGNIZE CHRISTOPHER LEE as "Louis" ? ..Lee was an excellent swordsman and costumed epics were right up his alley...Enjoyable episode about that "demned elusive pimpernel!"...
The reason His Highness didn't get one is because he's most unlikely to have been to France, so the French Secret Police and Gendarmes of the Revolution didn't believe he could possibly be this agent- besides, it'd be too costly if he died for his country, so they ruled him out of the list of possible suspects. Whoever it is that's been sending those extortion notes is liable to be *quite wealthy indeed* if they fall for it.
Sir Percy could claim to work for the government and insist on keeping that one quiet, for the safety of all, as far as how to keep his secret from his future wife.

For Christopher Lee, 12:36 to 14:41.
I would like to see a cable channel like Netflix or Starz do a reboot of the Adventures of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
I love Blakeneys little chuckles during the drinking scene with Christopher Lee!

The reason I looked for this episode was to watch Christopher Lee!
Christopher Lee would be great as a handsome version of Chauvelin
So glad I found this and got to see the lovely performance by a very young Christopher Lee.
and a young Patrick Troughton as well

Fabulous.
Anthony looks like Patrick Troughton.
That’s because it is Patrick Troughton
