In the madness of gearing up for Bookmarked I completely forgot to post about a little Daphne find I discovered at the library. No it’s not a rare book sadly, it was actually in the DVD section…
This BBC adaptation of Daphne’s later life and the possible affairs she had looks like a wonderful serialised melodrama with lovely frocks and might give an insight into more of her life… Though of course some of it might have been sensationalised. I snapped it up.
This will also nicely add to the book, well autobiography, of Daphne’s called ‘Growing Pains – The Shaping of a Writer’ which I’m just about to finish and only covers her life until the mid twenties. Some cosy nights ahead indeed.

I very much enjoyed this drama about Daphne Du Maurier when it was shown on TV. Good cast especially Janet McTeer as Gertie Lawrence.
Well I’m glad you did as I came away feeling rather dissatisfied if I am honest, hence why I haven’t written about it. I didn’t think any of the characters were developed enough and were all a little loathsome. I think it would have been a much better mini series
Oh yes, this is great! Hope you’ve got the tv adaption of Rebecca and the Hitchcock film too!
I have both the Rebecca’s aren’t they great. Hitchcock’s is naturally the best though Diana Rigg as Mrs Danvers is wonderful viewing.
oh great find I ve a few of her film adaptations missed this when it was on tv hope they show it again at some point ,all the best stu
I want to get Don’t Look Now, but it’s a swine to find Stu. The Birds is brilliant. If not quite the story and a bit hammy.
