Rebecca

Welcome to episode 10 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, we head back to Manderley, as we discuss Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, and two different versions, the 1940 Alfred Hitchcock movie and the 1997 Masterpiece mini-series. Listen along as we debate keeping our something somethings wide open to hide the body of our first wife, and is shooting her really the best option?

You can find all the cast lists and other fun trivia on iMDB.

Purchase the book and/or movie at Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive.
