French Silk

About This Movie

French Silk is a curious blend of thriller and romance, with a distinct New Orleans vibe. The atmosphere has this sultry, almost moody tension that really pulls you in. Claire Laurent, played by the always captivating Rebecca De Mornay, navigates a world of accusations and desire while running her lingerie business. The pacing is uneven at times, but it kind of adds to that gritty feel of the early '90s made-for-TV films. The performances are solid, especially from the lead, but it's the backdrop of New Orleans that gives it a unique flavor. Not your typical murder mystery, it feels like a snapshot of a specific era in television filmmaking. It's worth a look if you're into that sort of atmosphere.

Originally aired on CBS, 1994.Directed by Noel Nosseck, 90 min runtime.Shot on location in New Orleans.Features a notable score by David Michael Frank.
