I haven't seen that miniseries version. After reading the reviews for it, I decided not to rent Sat, 23 Jul 2005 16:59:56 GMT Shannon Russell http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thatdemmedelusivepimpernel/message/197 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thatdemmedelusivepimpernel/message/197 I have seen the 1982 one just recently.

I just joined. I am hoping to talk to people about our favorite fop and all his friends. I have read 4 of the books I think. Maybe 5.

I am in the process of writing a new SP fanfiction that takes place after Baroness Orczy's "The Scarlet Pimpernel". I have seen the 1982 movie and fell in Fri, 10 Jun 2005 09:26:54 GMT Sarah P. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thatdemmedelusivepimpernel/message/193 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thatdemmedelusivepimpernel/message/193 ... the ...
