The last thing I remember is the married couple is in house on the beach and Max is telling his wife how much he hated Rebecca but agreed to continue with the marriage to save face….

Maximillian de Winter is a rich man who lost his wife, Rebecca de Winter about one year ago. He travels to Montecarlo, where he meets Mrs. Van Hopper and his young partner, from who we don't get a name. Slowly, Maximillian starts getting interested in the young girl so, that finally he marries her.
Maximillian and the new Mrs. de Winter return then to "Manderley", de Winter's home in Cornwell, but since their arriving, the new Mrs. de Winter starts feeling overwhelmed, almost pursued by Rebecca's remembrance, who seems to be present in everything belonging to "Manderley". Besides, Mrs. Danvers, who was Rebecca's maiden, seems to violently reject Maximillian's new wife, acting as if Rebecca's memory was menaced by the presence of the young girl.
After starting his own investigation about the mysterious Rebecca, the new Mrs. de Winter will uncover the truth: Rebecca was not the wonderful creature she was meant to be, and she commited suicide as she knew she would die because of a cancer she had developed; however, Rebecca prepared her "suicide" in order to make Maximillian appear guilty of her death. Unable to accept the truth, Mrs. Danvers burns "Manderley", but accidently dies, thus setting de Winter's matrimony free.

The movie is based on the classic book, Rebbecca. Rebbecca discovers that Maxim's marriage to his late wife was very unhappy and that the former Mrs. de Winter was having an affair with Ms. Danvers cousin. Ms. Danvers and the cousin are behind all the intrigue and mishaps that befall Rebbecca. Basically, Ms. Danvers is the bad guy. If I remember correctly, she dies in the end and Maxim and Rebbecca leave Manderlay and try to begin again.

awesome film, it depends when you fell asleep but they go to the court case, Max gets let off after they find out that Rebecca had cancer. when they are on the way back to Manderlay, they see smoke and Mrs Danvers dies. Then it ends on the pyjama case burning. my fave bit was when the woman dresses up for a ball but Mrs Danvers tricks her, it's a really horrible moment but it's always atuck in my mind since i was a little girl.

They found the boat that sank and her body was on board, there was an inquest into her death and while everyone thought Max had killed her, it turned out that she had incurable disease and sank her own boat implicating her husband, but in the end the doctor who had diagnosed her was found and cleared Max when he revealed that she had not been preggers, but had a deadly disease. This is my recollection of the movie.
