Radio review - Lux - "Frenchman's Creek" (1947) **1/2

World War Two was an ideal time for this tale of a married with children noblewoman during the Restoration who dons pirate garb and runs around Frenchman's Creek in Cornwall with a French pirate. This really needed to be done by Gainsborough rather than hollywood but still has a bit of action - she kills a man who lusts after her and goes back to her husband, but the pirate isn't killed (she helps him escape). Joan Fontaine repeats her film role, with David Niven of all people stepping in as the pirate - and he isn't that bad (even if not vaguely French). He talks at the end about soon going back to England - presumably this was to make Bonnie Prince Charlie.
