Frenchman's Creek (1944)

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.
