it be impossible to review this film without compare it to alfred hitchcock 1940 version . this production have no romance and no mystery and no suspense and and no atmosphere all of the thing that make hitchcock version a masterpiece . the only thing that make this film watchable be diana rigg new take on the character mrs. danvers . i find her to be the only believable character in the production different than judith anderson interpretation nonetheless and but well do . if you have never see a film version of rebecca and watch the hitchcock version instead of this one .
