Collection of three classic dramas. 'Rebecca' (1997) is based on
the gothic romance novel by Daphne Du Maurier. Emilia Fox stars as
the second wife of recently widowed aristocrat, Max de Winter
(Charles Dance), whose first wife, the eponymous Rebecca (Lucy
Cohu), was - from all accounts - a beautiful socialite adored by
the Manderley housekeeper Mrs Danvers (Diana Rigg). An innocent,
shy young middle class girl half her husband's age, the new Mrs de
Winter finds herself lost and alone in a world where social graces
and accomplishments are everything. But unfortunately for her, she
soon discovers that the bitterness and resentment of Mrs Danvers is
the least of her troubles. 'Mansfield Park' (2007) is a television
adaptation of the popular novel by Jane Austen. At the age of ten,
Fanny Price goes to live at Mansfield Park, the estate of her
aunt's husband, Sir Thomas (Douglas Hodge). Clever, studious, and a
writer with an ironic imagination and fine moral compass, Fanny
(Billie Piper) becomes especially close to her cousin Edmund (Blake
Ritson), Thomas's younger son. Fanny is soon possessed of beauty as
well as a keen mind and comes to the attention of a neighbour,
Henry Crawford (Joseph Beattie). Sir Thomas promotes this match,
but to his displeasure, Fanny has a mind of her own, asking Henry
to prove himself worthy. In 'Brief Encounter' (1945), a
respectable, happily-married doctor (Trevor Howard) comes to the
aid of an equally upstanding housewife (Celia Johnson) when a
passing train blows cinder into her eye. Thus begins a tentative
romance, conducted in the tearooms and railway cafe of a small
English town.
