Title: Just Plain Awful
Product review: This is,frankly, just plain awful. I was so disappointed when I saw this on TV because Charles Dance and Diana Rigg are such wonderful actors, and they are wasted in this watered-down version of a great classic story. Even their vast talents combined couldn't make this watchable. The version done by the BBC in 1979 or 1980 was fabulous, with Jeremy Brett as Maxim de Winter but it has never been released on video or dvd. And the girl who plays the wife in the new version is actually the daughter of Joanna David, who played the same role in the BBC show.Pass on the 1997 version--it's soap opera dramatics and hysteria.
