I have to use capital letters, you see. This movie is highly melodramatic. It's such a great story for it, too. Rebecca, who is the beautiful first wife. The current Mrs. De Winters, whose name I somehow never caught, is left to feel very inadequate and second class.

Of course, it's totally different than she thought. And WORSE!
