"Pimpernel" Smith
The man the Gestapo hates!
Directed by Leslie Howard
Produced by British National Films
A wartime spy thriller built on the tension between an eccentric academic's cover and his dangerous secret mission to rescue concentration camp prisoners from Nazi Germany.
Eccentric Cambridge archaeologist Horatio Smith takes a group of British and American archaeology students to pre-war Nazi Germany to help in his excavations. His research is supported by the Nazis, since he professes to be looking for evidence of the Aryan origins of German civilisation. However, he has a secret agenda: to free inmates of the concentration camps.
