Advantages: A Hitchcock classic. Disadvantages: A little wooden.
***INTRO***
My DVD video of the Hitchcock's classical adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's celebrated novel REBECCA came free with the Times, because of this you don't get much more than the film, there is some advise on what to expect from the Times in this section in the future.

Advantages: It's Hitchcock Disadvantages: But not at his best
or how good or bad it was.
Firstly I can honestly say I wasn't impressed with the chemistry (or lack of it) between the two leads. I do rate Paul Newman as an actor and I've always liked Julie Andrews' work in other films I've seen her in. I just don't feel either of them were suited to the type of roles they were given in this film. Can you buy Newman as a scientist? Well I didn't.
