Auction History Result j655 SCARLET PIMPERNEL vintage 8x10 still '34 Leslie Howard close up! Date Sold 11/16/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) The Scarlet Pimpernel, the 1934 (released in the U.S. in 1935) Harold Young English historical French Revolution romantic disguised hero adventure comedy ("The Scarlet Pimpernel who was he... what was his strange power?"; produced by Alexander Korda) starring Leslie Howard (in the title role as Sir Percy Blakeney/The Scarlet Pimpernel), Merle Oberon, Raymond Massey, Nigel Bruce, Bramwell Fletcher, and Anthony Bushell. Note that this movie was based on the 1905 book by Baroness Emmuska Orczy, and the lead character is a "mild-mannered" English aristocrat by day, who by night poses as "The Scarlet Pimpernel", a dashing hero who rescues victims of the French Revolution, and not even his wife knows his "secret identity"! It seems quite likely that Joe Simon and Jerry Schuster at least partly based their Superman character on this character, given the huge similarities between them (except the Scarlet Pimpernel had no super powers!).
