To all those who say Charles Dance is too old and Emilia Fox too young, that is the whole point of the story. We're told in the book that Max de Winter is 46 with his new wife being half his age. So the casting is spot on. More importantly, the chemistry between them is electric.

I love Emilia Fox as the 2nd Mrs. de Winter. She plays her with a lot of spunk but it’s not too much that it takes away from the character’s shyness and lack of self confidence. She really balanced the two sides of her well showing strength when needed and showing timidness at just the right moments. I used to hate Charles Dance as Maxim because he was just a bit too old but every time I watch this again I warm up to him more and more. He’s actually really good. Diana Rigg is a queen as always :).

I love Charles Dance and Emilia Fox as the perfect leads but Faye Dunaway is the one who really shines here: the beautiful actress who slipped much too early into roles of middle-aged gold diggers or disillusioned divas. Her acting is fantastic!

There are 3 superb versions of this - the above, Fontaine and Olivier and Emila's Mum Joanna with Jeremy Brett. I love them all.

As an admirer of the Novel Rebecca and after watching the 1979 version starring Joanna David & Jeremy Brett, everything else seems Pale. The Novel's character is that of a thriller, suspense and not Romance per se. This version adds alot of things that are not authentic to the book (esp the romance), just to add to the commercial appeal, nevertheless its a fairly good version. The 1979 version is the closest to the book, word by word. Its follows even the feelings of the characters & even dialogues just BY THE BOOK, AS IT IS. The casting is done absolutely as described in the Books. Actors are more authentic and brilliant.

I can't help but compare this to the 2020 version. This is so much better. In 2020 one the young Mrs. De winter is overly sexualised. The age difference is laughable too. The actor and actress are only 3 years apart. As opposed to this version where it's true to the book and they have a big age gap, she is naive and innocent.

Coincidentally, Emilia Fox's mother Joanna David played the same character "Rebecca" in 1979 (with Jeremy Brett as Maxim)
another version of Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine "Rebecca"

Anyone here ever seen Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth & Jennifer Ehle?! Well, just an FYI, Joanna David played Mrs Gardner, Lizzies charming Aunt, who she went with to the Lake country in Derbyshire & went to Pemberly to visit & ran into Darcy. Emilia, Jonna's daughter here, played Georgianna, Darcy's sister! []

Daphne du Maurier (English) was a very talented author, known for her gothic and suspenseful stories, including "Rebecca" (published in 1938) "Jamaica Inn," and "The Birds." There have been several film adaptations of the novel "Rebecca" - the most famous of which is the 1940 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock - Maxim de Winter is indeed a central character.

Emily Fox looks just like her mother, Joanna David when she played Mrs De Winter in the 1979 version. I read Joanna was nervous on her behalf, and Emilia had to rely on the 1940 version because the 1979 one is not on DVD and BBC 1 haven't aired it in years. I can imagine her disappointment not seeing her mother's turn as Mrs de Winter.

Fun fact: Emilia Fox who plays the main character is the daughter of Joanna David who plays her in the 1979 version. Personally, I prefer the older version, although I enjoyed this one too. I really like Emilia, however, I'm not quite feeling the casting of Charles Dance. I fear 1979 Jeremy Brett has spoiled me for any other Maxims. There is an intrinsic cool hardness about Dance but without the seductive charm of Brett, at least for me, anyway. (They are both, of course, excellent actors.) Diana Rigg is terrific, no surprise there. (Edited, thanks to Mrs Rosencrantz pointing out they played the young Mrs de Winter, not actually Rebecca!)
"Rebecca" is a novel by Daphne du Maurier, published in 1938. The story is narrated by an unnamed young woman who works as a paid companion to Mrs. Van Hopper, a wealthy American woman. While staying at a hotel in Monte Carlo, the narrator meets Maxim de Winter, a wealthy widower. They fall in love and get married, and the narrator becomes the new Mrs. de Winter.
However, the narrator soon discovers that the memory of Maxim's first wife, Rebecca, still haunts him and the grand estate of Manderley, where they live. The housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, was extremely devoted to Rebecca, and she begins to torment the new Mrs. de Winter, constantly reminding her of her inadequacy and inferiority compared to Rebecca. The narrator becomes increasingly isolated and paranoid as she tries to uncover the truth about Rebecca's death and her husband's feelings for her.
As the story unfolds, secrets about Rebecca's past and the circumstances surrounding her death are revealed, and the new Mrs. de Winter realizes that she may be in danger. The climax of the novel involves a dramatic revelation and a dangerous confrontation, which ultimately leads to the resolution of the mystery surrounding Rebecca's death.
Overall, "Rebecca" is a haunting and suspenseful novel that explores themes of love, jealousy, identity, and the destructive power of secrets.

How was Rebecca's death?
In the novel "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca's death is initially believed to have been the result of a tragic boating accident. However, as the story unfolds, it is revealed that Rebecca was actually murdered by her husband, Maxim de Winter.
Rebecca was a manipulative and unfaithful wife who had affairs with multiple men, including her cousin, Jack Favell. She also had a malignant brain tumor that would have eventually caused her death, but she was not aware of it at the time of her murder.
Maxim had grown tired of Rebecca's behavior and wanted to divorce her, but he was afraid of the scandal it would cause and the damage it would do to his reputation and to Manderley. In a fit of rage, he shot Rebecca and then staged the scene to make it look like she had drowned in a boating accident.
Throughout the novel, Maxim carries the guilt of his actions and struggles to keep his secret from being exposed. In the end, however, the truth is revealed and Maxim is able to face the consequences of his actions.
************
What was consequences of his actions?
In the novel "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier, Maxim de Winter's actions in killing his first wife, Rebecca, have significant consequences for both himself and those around him.
Once the truth about Rebecca's death is revealed, Maxim is forced to confront the consequences of his actions. He is haunted by guilt and shame, and his reputation and social standing are severely damaged. He is also in danger of being arrested and charged with murder, which would further ruin his life and reputation.
The revelation of the truth also has a significant impact on the new Mrs. de Winter, Maxim's second wife, who had been living in fear and isolation as a result of Mrs. Danvers' torment and manipulation. She must also come to terms with the fact that her husband is a murderer and that the man she thought she knew so well is capable of such violence.
Additionally, the revelation has an impact on other characters in the novel, such as Jack Favell, who had been involved in Rebecca's life and death, and Mrs. Danvers, who had been deeply devoted to Rebecca and had helped cover up Maxim's crime.
Ultimately, Maxim's actions have far-reaching consequences that affect not only himself, but also those around him. The novel explores the themes of guilt, secrecy, and the consequences of one's actions, and portrays the devastating impact that a single act of violence can have on people's lives.
