Storyline
In Monte Carlo, Max de Winter stops to speak to Mrs. Edythe Van Hopper only after recognizing her companion, the girl he had encountered earlier. Maxim takes his new bride back to Manderley, his grand mansion by the sea in south-western England, dominated by its housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, a chilly individual who had been a close confidante of the first Mrs. De Winter—Rebecca—with whom she is clearly still obsessed.

“I love the book, but in order to transform it into a film, there are things you have to reinvent for it to work on screen.”
