Rebecca 1979 NEW VERSION (1-4 Complete) Better Quality 2024 Jeremy Brett - Please read description

A new/different version of this miniseries starring Jeremy Brett and Joanna David has been discovered. I have been unsuccessful at finding out where it came from.
It is (all together) a few minutes longer than older versions. It is also higher quality, less blurry, and many of the shots (especially close-ups) are less zoomed in and have a wider frame. I took the four episodes, put them together, and then (FAN EDIT warning HAHA) increased the sharpness, lighting, contrast, color, and published at a higher resolution.
The originals of this newer version I happened to stumble upon, (and it looks like it was uploaded just in February of 2024, amazingly) were uploaded to archive (dot) org.
If you'd like to see the original uploads, without any contrast or color editing, the link I got the 4 episodes from is here:
archive.org/details/rebecca-1...
(( copied description from my older version:
Fan Re-edit (partial-remaster) (An experiment I did) .... I went and stitched the parts of the Rebecca 1979 episodes already on youtube into 4 videos, 1 per episode. Then increased the sharpness, lighting, contrast, color, and published at a higher resolution. This was done mostly as an experiment for myself. If you like it, thank you, and you can watch all 4 parts on my channel. If you don't like parts of my editing, please feel free to watch the older versions already on youtube instead.))

Thank you very much for making this 1979 adaptation of Rebecca into one video rather than in many parts. It's easier to watch in one video. While I loved Jeremy Brett as Sherlock, he was exceptional as Max De Winter.

[@williamnorman2099]

I have now watched all four episodes of this newly restored and improved 'Rebecca'. My heartfelt gratitude and thanks to all those involved, since to my mind this is much the best dramatization of 'Rebecca' ever made. In stark contrast, there was a TV series of 'Rebecca' released in 1997. I thought this was terrible. In this version, there was an unimaginably stupid decision to show Rebecca herself, which robs the story of its entire point, which is that the deceased Rebecca is a brooding, haunting presence. She only lives on in the mind of the obsessed and deranged Mrs Danvers, and as a bitter memory in the mind of Maxim de Winter. To show Rebecca in person renders all the mystery null and void. STUPID. This version also features Jonathan Cake, in a hopelessly over the top portrayal of Favell; much more ham than cake, I fear. The only objection I have about the 1979 version is that the credits display 'Music by Ron Grainer'. In fact virtually all the music for this series was composed by Debussy; extensive and repetitive use of 'Footprints in the Snow' and 'Gardens in the Rain' particularly. Granted these piano pieces were beautifully arranged for small ensemble by Ron Grainer, but that is a far cry from being composed by him. It was rather mean of the producers to decline to give Debussy any credit for the music. That little niggle aside, in my opinion this is the definitive film version of 'Rebecca' - I can't imagine it being scripted or performed any better. So thanks again for this improved version. I only wish a team of experts would digitally restore this masterpiece further, and make the quality as clear and sharp as possible.

[@kathrynswynford]

Mrs. de Winter was played by Joanna David in this 1979 version. The 1997 version was played by her daughter Emilia Fox.

[@williamnorman2099]

Debussy's music was surely not so much stolen as utilised - to wonderful effect - for Rebecca. No one can steal a note of Debussy's music. It's out there in the public domain for all of us to enjoy. I think the arrangements for Rebecca are masterly, and they fit the story like a glove.

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

A faithful retelling beautifully cast. But Hitchcock increased the tension and cut to the chase. His film is more challenging, than this rather pale remake. It remains the one I will watch on a sleepless night.

[@williamnorman2099]

Well done with this new version. This TV series of 'Rebecca' from 1979 needs all the digital remastering it can get, as to my mind it is far and away the best adaptation of 'Rebecca' there has ever been. No other versions come close. Jeremy Brett, Joanna David, Anna Massey: all perfect in their roles. This should have been digitally remastered and commercially available on DVD years ago. The music too is brilliant: Debussy's piano music arranged for small ensemble. The piece 'Des Pas Sur La Neige' which is heard all through this series, perfectly conveys the brooding, haunting atmosphere of Manderley, and the girl's foreboding, feeling lost and disorientated. Why has this masterpiece been so neglected? The BBC don't have any versions of it for sale. It has been left to languish, out of focus, on KZbin. I put this down to stupidity, ignorance, complacency and indifference. This series should be applauded and treasured for the masterpiece it is. I wish people like Spielberg or Scorsese could be alerted to this series. They could easily give the world a fully restored version.

Thank you so much for posting this carefully reworked video of the ideal version. Since watching it when it was first broadcast it has been my favourite by miles. According to a video of comparisons, this was the version Daphne du Maurier preferred, which must surely make it definitive, and it was filmed at Caerhayes Castle, not far from where she lived on the south coast of Cornwall . As well as the perfect cast, where nobody seems to be "acting" because they really are those people, the name Manderley is pronounced correctly. Unsurpassed.

That later version was doomed from the start as, with unbelievable stupidity, it wasn't even filmed in Cornwall but in Hampshire, which looks nothing like Cornwall and has a completely different atmosphere. In this version the house chosen for Manderley is Caerhayes Castle on the south coast of Cornwall midway between Falmouth and St Austell and not far from where Daphne du Maurier actually lived. It is said to be her preferred version of Rebecca

[@cynaraslover]

Thank you so much for this. When I was 28 and this was first broadcast we were living in London, and although a Du Maurier obsessive since i was 12 years old, I thought this was far superior to the much vaunted, and even legendary, Hitchcock adaptation of 1940. The reasons for this are varied and many. As Pauline Kael observed, it is one of Olivier's only bad performances. He is utterly wooden, perhaps because he was denied his request to have Vivien Leigh aa his leading lady. But apart from that, the Hays code emasculated this story by insisting that Rebecca's death be an accident rather than a murder. Jeremy Brett is just marvelous as Maxim, and as much as I love Joan Fontaine, I had the pleasure of knowing slightly when I was a young man, Joanna David is pure perfection as the second Mrs de Winter. Thank you again for the pleasure of seeing this all together rather than the tantalizing 10-minute segments that the original KZbin broadcast of it had.

I saw him in 1992 at the Riverside Theatre when in London to see Alan Rickman in ‘ Hamlet’ and was sitting having a drink at a large empty table before the performance and Jeremy Brett sat down. He’d come to see the play. He started chatting to me. “ You have a Welsh accent…”. I’d heard that he was unwell but he looked as you’d expect - very handsome indeed. He didn’t look, old or ill. He spoke quietly, no affectation whatsoever. After about five minutes, a tiny young woman with a short pixie haircut ran up and threw herself into his lap ! I mean…she ran and leapt onto his lap. “ Darrrrling !”, she gushed, very loudly, looking around to see who’d noticed her. From what she was saying, she seemed to be an actress but wasn’t with him - she’d probably met him before but hadn’t come to the theatre with him because he didn’t know her name. He looked at me, smiled and rolled his eyes. He said, “ I was, relaxed…ah well ! Back to work…”. I wasn’t even a fan of his other than admiring his work but even when he was at ease, speaking quietly, his charisma was off the scale. He was courteous and gentlemanly. I sensed a great sadness in him. Two years later, he passed away.

Joan Fontaine was a brilliant actress and suited her role as Mrs D' Winter. However I've yet to see a film starring Lawrence Olivier where he doesn't act rigidly ( as if on a stage). His acting on the stage was most of the time,good. That's where he should have stayed as it suits his over dramatic acting. On the stage I've watched and been at live performances and I can honestly say, most of the actors have warmth, sadly lacking in Olivier, they are much more true to the script. Lawrence performs as if he is reading the script, as he would when rehearsing. Sorry if I've offended Olivier fans, but ! speak as I find. This performance with Jeremy Brett and Joanne David is perfect and brings the characters to life, as Daphne Du Maurier would have wanted,

Tell me. Which did you like best? Lawrence Olivier and Joan Fountain. Or these two? Joan Fountain played her part awfully like a child. Even as she grew up with her progression in the movie.

[@c.a.savage5689]

She was treated somewhat dismissively by Olivier and Hitchcock on the set. Some say Olivier was peeved that his wife Vivian Leigh was not given the part, or that Hitchcock was trying to bring out the character's anxiety and awkwardness by destabilising her psychologically. I would say she was "naive" rather than child-like. Also endearing in her simplicity.

[@beechnut8779]

Joan Fontaine's performance most closely matched my image of the unnamed heroine. I thought her portrayal of a lost, disoriented, inexperienced, awkward young woman drowning in her own lack of confidence and overwhelming sense of inadequacy was spot on. Just watch her facial expressions! I could believe she was suffering so much from her insecurities that she would be tempted to jump out the window and kill herself. I didn't get that sense from Joanna David at all.
