Adaptations
The 1944 film, Frenchman's Creek starring Joan Fontaine, Arturo de Córdova, and Basil Rathbone (as Rockingham) is a fairly faithful adaptation of the novel. It also starred Nigel Bruce, Rathbone's old Sherlock Holmes film partner, in their only non-Holmes/Watson screen appearance together.
A television film of 1998 starred Tara FitzGerald as Dona, James Fleet as her husband, and Anthony Delon as the Frenchman. Whilst possibly more historically accurate, it varied greatly from the Du Maurier original.
