Radio review – SGP - “Rebecca” (1943) **

Brian Aherne was married to Joan Fontaine in real life but he wasn’t a star and he’s too weak for Maxim de Winter. This means that Fontaine’s heroine comes across as too strong – there’s no real sense of the power inbalance in their relationship. However, Agnes Moorehead is an excellent Mrs Danvers (to be honest she could play that sort of role in her sleep) and her scenes with Fontaine alone make this worth listening too.
