The film begins with a voiceover of a woman speaking the first lines from the novel: "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again", to the images of a ruined country manor. She continues that she can never return to Manderley — as it no longer exists, except as a ruin.
Joan Fontaine plays a young woman (who is never named), an orphan, who works as a paid companion to the wealthy Edythe Van Hopper (Florence Bates). In Monte Carlo, she meets the aristocratic widower Maximilian (Maxim) de Winter (Laurence Olivier) and they fall in love. Within weeks, they decide to get married.
There's wonderful acting by Joan Fontaine as a naive and very green bride who marries a rich man and moves into his mansion. Little does she know that her husband's first wife had a very shady past, and a doting maid who still resides at the home. This movie is just wonderful, I encourage any romantic suspense lover to watch it! One of Hitchcock's best.
