Frenchman's Creek (1944) DVD
Based on the Daphne DuMaurier novel, this rapturous adventure is
unapologetically female in its viewpoint. Joan Fontaine plays an English
noblewoman neglected by her foolish husband, and stalked by a decadent,
womanizing lord (the great Basil Rathbone, at his most silky and depraved).
Fleeing to her county home in Cornwall, she finds French pirate Arturo De
Cordova operating out of a secluded creek on her property-causing an uproar
among her neighbors. She tries to stick up for the moral principles of her class,
but finds herself so attracted to the philosophical Frenchman and the freedom
of his outlaw lifestyle, that she protects him, even joining in his illicit
adventures.
