Recovered eases our way out of spooky season by switching from horror to suspense, with two adaptations of Daphne du Maurier's novel, Rebecca. First up, Gone With the Wind producer David O. Selznick takes a chance on a rookie British filmmaker named Alfred Hitchcock to bring the novel to live with (future Sir) Laurence Olivier; eight decades later, Netflix takes another crack at it with full colour, relaxed content restrictions, and... alleged sex cannibal Armie Hammer. Fun. Who did it best? What effects did the Hayes Code have on how this story could be told, and was escaping it enough to overcome the lack of Hitchcock? Listen and learn!
