I've mentioned before that I love how NoDS actually opens with what could easily be considered DC's tribute to the opening of Hitchcock's
Rebecca which is mostly mixed with the arrival of the newly married de Winters to the Manderley mansion. But of you've never seen
Rebecca, you may be unaware as to how some aspects of the opening of NoDS really do resemble
Rebecca. So, here are some videos to illustrate the point:

NoDS Arrival I hadn't watched
Rebecca in a long while and I'd completely forgotten that it also rains as the de Winters arrive at Manderley just as it does as the Collines arrive at Collinwood. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it
was just serendipity that it really did rain as the opening of NoDS was being shot or if DC planned it with the help of the local fire department, as he did with the shooting of the funerals for hoDS and NoDS?
