Title: Miscast
Product review: Sadly, the wrong person was cast as the Scarlet Pimpernel, and it ruined the entire film for me. IMHO, Ian McKellan was more aptly suited to that role, and would have played it with pin-point accuracy. I thought the Pimpernel, as played by Anthony Andrews, was ridiculously unbelievable. He was too much of a fop to be taken seriously, and to label him as a "master of disguise" is a misnomer of vertiginous proportions. As a result, it was barely watchable. A shame, as it is certainly a wonderful story.
