"I dreamt of Manderly last night..." The iconic opening line from Daphne du Maurier's novel introduces us to a "haunted" setting, which is just fine with the crew from Cinema Cemetery. Alfred Hitchcock's first (and only) film to win Best Picture tells the tale of a nameless young woman who finds herself swept away by Lawerence Olivier's brooding Mr. DeWinter. While things begin happily, it soon becomes clear that the late Rebecca DeWinter looms over the new couple.
Can the new Mrs. DeWinter escape Rebecca's shadow? Is Manderly still worth dreaming about 80 years later? Find out this week on Cinema Cemetery!
