Leslie is GREAT in that flick!
“They seek him here,
They seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere!
Is he in heaven?
Is he in hell?
That damned, elusive Pimpernel!”
Yep. I think I read it was his favorite role. He later reprised it of sorts in “Pimpernel Smith” where he plays a WWII-era version of the elusive pimpernel.
