PLOT:
On vacation in Monte Carlo, wealthy widower Maxim de Winter meets a young woman who is working as a lady's companion to Mrs. Van Hopper. They spend a good deal of time together and it leads to love and marriage. The second Mrs. de Winter is somewhat overwhelmed however when, after their honeymoon, they return to his vast estate, Manderley. She not only has to deal with a huge house and numerous servants, but also with the dour and domineering housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers. She soon feels inferior and a disappointment to everyone, particularly her husband Max and Mrs. Danvers - who still adores her dead mistress. Not all is as it seems however, particularly after a striking discovery is made in the sea near Manderley.
