Summary: Old Movies
Comment: You know, you cannot compare older movies to today's movies. There was more substance. I have always like this movie about Rebecca. There are very few movies by Alfred Hitchcock that I do not like.

Customer Rating:
Summary: hitchcock at his best!!
Comment: Great movie adaptation of Daphne du Maurier novel, funny at times, but tragic and surreal. This is the kind of movie Hollywood forgot how to make a long time ago, where you can just get caught up in a mesmerizing story. I can't think of another story where an unseen character plays a more important role.

Summary: "I'm Rebecca's favourite cousin..."
Comment: Girl with no name fights name with no face for the love of her handsome haunted husband. And suave George Sanders does his Shere Kahn best when intimidating Olivier with a chicken drumstick. Oscar for Best Picture 1940; Joan Fontaine stars, Daphne Du Mourier writes, Selznick produces, and Hitchcock directs. What else are you waiting for? Directions? Written orders?

Editorial Reviews:
|
Rebecca is an ageless, timeless adult movie about a woman who marries a widower but fears she lives in the shadow of her predecessor. This was Hitchcock's first American feature, and it garnered the Best Picture statue at the 1941 Academy Awards. In today's films, most twists and surprises are ridiculous or just gratuitous, so it's sobering to look back on this film where every revelation not only shocks, but makes organic sense with the story line. Laurence Olivier is dashing and weak, fierce and cowed. Joan Fontaine is strong yet submissive, defiant yet accommodating. There isn't a false moment or misstep, but the film must have killed the employment outlook of any women named Danvers for about 20 years. Brilliant stuff. --Keith Simanton
