Pimpernel Smith

[primsong]

I must find myself a good Leslie Howard icon - I'll have to settle for James Stewart for now.  You see, I just finished watching "Pimpernel Smith" via youtube, since it doesn't appear to exist in dvd...  and...*flails*
I love Leslie Howard's work.
I hate the Nazis who shot him down - how I wish he had lived to see the end of that war.  He's kind of the Brit version of Jimmy Stewart, really, the patriotic, upstanding actor who used his talents for his country but also was determined to actually go into battle... thank heavens Stewart at least made it out alive.

Go watch Pimpernel Smith if you haven't yet... and see where Indiana Jones came from.

...I thought things had to be on DVD to be on Netflix? *might be behind the times*

LESLIE HOWAAAAAAAAAARD. I have not seen "Pimpernel Smith" yet; I first saw him in "The Scarlet Pimpernel", which I love ALL TO PIECES even if the plot climax of the movie has no continuity. ;-) BUT HE IS AWESOME.

(Jimmy Stewart is also awesome. *wants to watch Philadelphia Story again now*)

But of course Leslie Howard is AWESOME - he always is! ^_^

I tried to find a dvd that I could buy, but only found old vhs tapes and pirate copies from the vhs onto dvd being peddled here and there. I don't do netflix, I have so little time to watch anything at all much less enough movies to make it worth it, but am inordinately pleased to find it is there and not wandering off to the forgotten dustbin of history. Perhaps it is on dvd as part of some "old Brit movies" collection? I'll have to go searching again.

I love Jimmy Stewart too! Yaaaaay!

Ooh, you've some treats in store for you then - I like his Pygmalion the best so far (the best Prof. Higgins EVAH!), but they're all just lovely, lovely stuff.
