Synopsis:

Frenchman's Creek is one of Daphne du Maurier's most famous and enduring stories. It tells the story of the wealthy Dona (Tara Fitzgerald) who leaves the corrupt sophistication of Royal society in London to seek peace and solitude in the family home in Cornwall. On her arrival she discovers that French pirates are marauding the local community. Worse than that she finds that her family home is being used by one pirate in particular (Anthony Delon). His boat La Mouette is hidden in a creek within the grounds of the house. Falling in love with the pirate Dona finds herself caught between the local community and her husband's attempt to defeat the raiders and capture the Frenchman. Frenchman's Creek is a tremendous story set against a bounding narrative of piracy and betrayal - now a big budget production filmed on location from the team who produced the award-winning Rebecca.

Seeking to escape the stifling London court society, the beautiful headstrong Lady Dona St. Columb flees to her family estate on the Cornish coast. Her new freedom swiftly brings her into contact with the dashingly handsome French privateer Jean Aubrey who sweeps her off her feet and into a world of adventure on the high seas very different from her dull and boring life at court with her husband Sir Harry. Together with Jean Aubrey and her enigmatic servant William, Lady Dona conceives a daring plan to steal a ship right from under the noses of the English authorities. The theft enrages the authorities who make every effort to trap the French Pirate. However, as the noose begins to tighten around the lovers, Lady Dona is faced with the dilemma of duty and children with Sir Harry or freedom and excitement with Jean Aubrey.
