"Series Synopsis: A titled Englishman, and member of the Prince Regent's court, poses as a fop while secretly working to liberate condemned aristocrats from the French reign of terror and get them to safety in England. The opening voice-over tag is a classic: "They seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven, is he in hell? That cursed elusive Pimpernel." The censors insisted the original "damned" be changed to "cursed." Based on the novel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. Originally broadcast 1954 - 1955."
"Due to customer demand, Hollywood Select offers its full catalog on DVD-R in a market test. This title is part of that program. This is basically the VHS version of the title in DVD format. It will be delivered in a plain case with title information on the disc . . . no frills! Titles that sell substantially eventually will be offered in a chaptered version. This test DVD-R is offered without chaptered authoring. DVD-R discs are compatible in most newer DVD players and DVD-capable computers."
