This is a great movie -- then and now. Daphne du Maurier's tale of a marriage haunted by the past is still engaging and well-acted. The bonus materials shed light on interesting information surrounding the film, as well as screen tests by those actresses considered for the role of "I."

A bit dated but that is what makes it so good, not the typical Alfred Hitchcock. This version is full wide screen and the black and white makes it that much better. You "MUST" see this, a great classic. Sit back, get ready and make sure no interruptions!
