Pimpernel Smith
Oct. 26th, 2012 10:10 pmI 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.
