What a ride. Starts as a catharsis of class anxiety, but starts shifting gears into thriller territory pretty quickly.
I completely love Rebecca, she was really living. Maybe the best unseen character in fiction? It's her or Bob Sacamano. I'll miss Frank Crawley and the moments of kindness he offers - they are the only relief amongst the utter hostility of Manderly. It does sound like a lovely home, though. Shame about the vibes.
Can't wait to watch the Hitchcock movie. He's exactly the right kind of freak to take this one on.
