I like this version a lot as well, The first Hitchcock version is more suspenseful. But this one also benefits from some worthy actors--John Mills and even Eric Porter (I know of him from the Forsythe saga). I also think the pre first War era has more atmosphere, and of course is set in the same time frame as the original book.
No-one seems to have totally been true to the book (though this is probably the closest) , and it is very interesting to view all five adaptations.
