Negative Positive
Title: My Favorite Version
Review: Many times I watched the 1944 version, it's o.k., but not great (if compared with "Gone with the Wind", "Forever Amber" or "Désirée").A few years ago I finally discovered to my delight in Netflix that there is a remake with Alain Delon's son Anthony Delon. The actress who played Lady Dona St. Columb (Tara Fitzgerald) was somebody I had never heard of at that point.Well, I instantly enjoyed this version and was so thrilled that it has been filmed where it should have been filmed in the first place: in Cornwall where all those fascinating stories of Daphne DuMaurier take place.Of course the 1944 version could not have been filmed in Cornwall as WW II was going on, but it always bothered me to see the Californian coastline which is very different from Cornwall's coast.I wish somebody would finally make a movie from "The House on the Strand" (my favorite DuMaurier novel).
