Rebecca

Rebecca

Drama based on the gothic romance by Daphne Du Maurier. Emilia Fox stars as the second wife of recently widowed aristocrat Max de Winter, whose first wife, the eponymous Rebecca, was - from all accounts - a beautiful socialite adored by the Manderley housekeeper Mrs Danvers (Diana Rigg, who won an Emmy for her performance). An innocent, shy young middle class girl half her husband's age, the new Mrs de Winter finds herself lost and alone in a world where social graces and accomplishments are everything.

But unfortunately for her, she soon discovers that the bitterness and resentment of Mrs Danvers is the least of her troubles...
