Some people one Redit have commented that he got off scot free, and that he should have gone to prison for murder, but what they are forgetting is that, if the roles were reversed and this was a man treating a women the way Rebecca and her house lady treated him and his house hold, they would have been thrown in prison or hail right away, due it being a man being abused and him afraid to come forward or divorce him, you cant say that it wasn't self defense as she lied to him abut being pregnant, and that he would never get ride of her and her cruelty for ever till her death. And so it was self defense in a sense to save his mental state and physical state if she was willing to make horses bleed, and harm the servants and such and cheat on her husband with other men including her own cousin, its self defense. no one would believe you cause your the man of the house hold. plus his wife and the house lady or keeper and her cousin don't own or are intittled to anything of his regardless of marriage.
@BelovedCaptain They're similar as far as background and the nature of their love. Both Mrs. de Winter and Jane Eyre were poor and friendless, moving into big unfriendly houses full of secrets, in love with men who made huge mistakes.
SPOILER - help!! So how did she die??? I've not read the book. Did he shoot her like in this version or did she trip on fishing tackle and hit her head and die like in Hitchcock's movie???? Whats in the book? We all know he sank her body. But if he shot her through the heart, wouldn't the coroner see the heart wound preserved in the salt water? I dont get it.

"I hated her". That the point. That's the explaination of all. Like in 1940'film.
2:06 -2:18 he is so tender and vulnerable
Brett perfect as de wi❤nter
Wonderful film!

I so agree with you. My two favourite TV series. Timothy Dalton as Mr Rochester.
Sherlock Holmes!
Çould t here be a better film? Stunning... Valerie...
Her husband is plain crazy.

Here is mostly like in book. He shoot her with gun, then sunk the boat. I think they presume that she shot herself in sinking boat.
The flesh was long gone….
Jeremy Brett was a very handsome man, but turtlenecks did not flatter him, rendering him chinless.
gulshabbo it's frigid in the UK. Beyond fireplaces, historic family homes still don't have indoor heating
"rendering him chinless" That made me laugh so hard!
Hardly!
@@LadyVader33What a load of crap , yes we do have central heating in our homes , even the peasants

was this ever based on a true story?
Juana MkTavish I'm sure it regularly happened and still does, minus murder
It’s based on a book by Daphne Du Maurier
Jeremy was not cut out for romantic roles! He was closer to DOYLE'S Sherlock ...much too close and much too sagacious and unworldly am afraid!!
