Rebecca (1979)
The best one ever done!

This Rebecca unfolds the same way Du Maurier wrote her novel. In fact when Gene Shalit hosted this showing on Mystery he told how Ms. Du Maurier had commented it was the truest telling of her book. Yet that isn't what compels the viewer; it's Jeremy Brett as Maxim, Joanna David as the second Mrs. DeWinter, poor dear who has no first name, and Anna Massey as Mrs. Danvers. Julian Holloway is wonderful as Favell. The entire cast is flawless. The sets are as you would picture Manderly. Truly you go back to Manderly again...
Really, I'd love to see this once more, then over and over again. Please whomever has the power to bring this to DVD, do it. New fans will flock to this best version of Rebecca.
