I dreamt I went to Manderley again - Jeremy Brett in Rebecca

Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter for the way was barred to me. Then, like all dreamers, I was possessed of a sudden with supernatural powers and passed like a spirit through the barrier before me. The drive wound away in front of me, twisting and turning as it had always done. But as I advanced, I was aware that a change had come upon it. Nature had come into her own again, and little by little had encroached upon the drive with long tenacious fingers, on and on while the poor thread that had once been our drive. And finally, there was Manderley - Manderley - secretive and silent. Time could not mar the perfect symmetry of those walls. Moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, and suddenly it seemed to me that light came from the windows. And then a cloud came upon the moon and hovered an instant like a dark hand before a face. The illusion went with it. I looked upon a desolate shell, with no whisper of a past about its staring walls. We can never go back to Manderley again. That much is certain.

where did you get such a good version of rebecca, mine is not as good ... or did you use some tools to improve quality?

@christinah3000

I used my video program to enhance it. Took a good while to just do a few bits because I couldn't get it to rip properly from my DVD copy. I really want to enhance the entire program. I will if I ever get a copy that I can put onto my computer properly. :-)

Thank you so much, and I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed Rebecca. I think it's my favourite role of his (other than sherlock, of course).

Thanks for putting this out. This was the best version of REBECCA I've seen. Brett and Joanna David were perfectly cast, I think. When I reread the book , these are the faces that come to my mind. Am very sorry this video has fallen off the face of the earth!

"Rebecca" can be found on e-bay, from "daphnedumaurier" or Michaël Röber...

"Rebecca" is a wonderful film! And Jeremy is most remarkable in this part.
