The first half of the film portrays the naive heroine who married the hero and went to Manderley Manor together, but was targeted by the manor housekeeper everywhere, and the sign of the hero's dead wife, clothes and everything seemed to be haunted. It usually bothers the heroine, and then reaches one of the climaxes of the film, that is, at the masquerade, the heroine is induced by the female housekeeper to wear the same clothes as the male protagonist's dead wife, and is scolded by the male protagonist who loses his temper, and is even induced by the female housekeeper. to commit suicide.

Just as we were scolding the housekeeper, the camera turned, and we learned about the past of the male protagonist and his dead wife, and let us follow the plot step by step through the ups and downs.

The final ending is undoubtedly beautiful, but Hitchcock's storytelling method in the process is worth learning, and makes us feel the charm of "twisted and twisted".
