What was the budget for this? About £5 an episode by the look of it!

[CHARICHCH]

RIP Anna Massey, you were a joy to watch.

@fannycraddock99  I had not seen the news, thanks.

Rest in peace, a very good actress.

@AjrimmerMr It is my opinion that this is the best version of Rebecca ever, considerably better than Joan Fontain, and even better than the Emilia Fox version, which was OK except for the ghastly Faye Dunaway overdoing it something terribly as Mrs Van Hopper. I think she wrote her own script. Then at the end they confused the whole story with Jayne Eyre.

I don't know where this 1979 version has been hiding. I have been chasing it for years.
