And 115 years later, the Scarlet Pimpernel (aka Sir Percy Blakeney) appeared on the scene! The authoress, Baroness Orczy had no need to worry about the Reign of Terror, not only because of time, but also because she was Hungarian born royalty!

Interesting that Baroness “Orczy's premise of a daring hero who cultivates a secret identity disguised by a meek or ineffectual manner proved enduring. Zorro, the Shadow, the Spider, the Phantom, Superman and Batman followed within a few decades, and the trope remains a popular one in serial fiction today.”
The 1982 television version with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour was okay, except Andrews almost went too far with the persona of Sir Percy.

LTC Stephen C. - As for the 1982 remake —> I’ll concur with Leslie Howard’s critique-speak.
