Frenchman's Creek

Frenchman's Creek is romance at its best. With all the mastery of atmosphere she used so triumphantly in Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier spirits the reader away to the days of the Restoration.
This film is an extract from 'The Make Believe World of Daphne du Maurier' and is a rare opportunity to see Dame Daphne at her home in Cornwall. She talks to Cliff Michelmore on a wide range of subjects about her writing and work. She wrote twenty seven books in all, many of which were turned into films and television series.
Made in 1977 at her home Kilmarth in Cornwall, its reproduction is by courtesy of Du Maurier Productions.

I was in love( and still do) with Daphne du Maurier - going back to my schooldays in the 50's. Its fascinating hearing her voice in this clip. I love her books esp this one, Frenchman's Creek and Rebecca - just can't put them down when I start. Adventure and Romance, and the films are just as well produced....thanks !!

As a youngster living in the area with a small propelled dinghy l visited the creek many times and believe me you get that feeling of calmness and never want to leave....I want that cottage on the southside of creek...a little gem!

A beautiful video, set in a beautiful place.

This woman is my idol! She is the person who inspired me to write alongside Jane Austen. They both inspired me to to write dark romance stories. One of them is set in Cornwall. I want to see the real Frenchman's Creek. I finished it a short time ago, I want to see the real Frenchman's Creek, I want to see Menabilly too
