Rebecca (1979)
9/10
Probably the most authentic adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's original novel.
12 September 2023
This adaptation of Rebecca is the most authentic to Daphne du Maurier's original masterpiece novel. Beautifully made and long enough over its four episodes to show most of the written story.

Jeremy Brett is a fantastic Maxim de Winter, playing the complex mecurial character with depth. Anna Massey is also wonderful in her portrail of the haunted and damaged Mrs Danvers. Joanna David also plays a convincing second Mrs de Winter. This version of Rebecca was also filmed in Cornwall, not too far from the locations that the original novel was set in, giving an added sence of authenticity. This is a very good adaptation of the original wonderful story.
