The film was released by Paramount Pictures and starred Joan Fontaine, Arturo de Córdova, Basil Rathbone, Cecil Kellaway, and Nigel Bruce.
Filmed in Technicolor, it was directed by Mitchell Leisen.
The musical score was by Victor Young, who incorporated the main theme of French composer Claude Debussy's" Clair de Lune" as the love theme for the film.
The film is a mostly faithful adaptation of the novel, taking place during the reign of Charles II in the mid-17th century, mostly in the Cornish region of England.
Fontaine was under contract to independent producer to David O. Selznick, who produced only a few films each year.
Typically, he loaned out his contract players and director Alfred Hitchcock( who had a contract with Selznick from 1940 to 1947) to other studios.

" Frenchman's Creek" was their only on- screen collaboration besides the Holmes films.
