I wish Hitchcock had done more movies like this. It's not his best, but the atmosphere and mood are incredible and virtually every other element is superb too. It's hard to see how this could have been done better really.

It says something to the credit of Rebecca when out of all of Hitchcock's masterpieces, this was the only one to win an Oscar for Best Picture. Rebecca has all the hallmarks of Hitchcock's love of directional and linear storytelling, with his mastery of the ominous and unnerving. A film classic with a nice blend of romance, intrigue, mystery and suspicion that could only be delivered as masterfully well-done as it was during the Hitchcock 40s era.

I'm not saying that this is one of my favorite Hitchcock films (it isn't), but it IS one of my favorite books. Because of the production code being in full swing in 1940, several main plot points are either much too subtle or were left out of the film altogether, and I want people who have seen "Rebecca" to understand some of the most important things in the story.-First of all, why the heck was Mrs. Danvers such a creep? Because she was in love with Rebecca, who was using her like she used everyone else! Daphne du Maurier (the author) was also a lesbian, and this dynamic in her writing was intentional. If you watch the movie again with this in mind, with Danvers as a jilted lover who was upset by 1) Rebecca's cheating on her (and Max); 2) R's supposed pregnancy; 3) Rebecca's drowning; 4) Max's remarrying; 5) Rebecca's body being found (again); and 6) the new Mrs. de Winter's getting rid of Rebecca's things, it makes a LOT more sense. Trust me. Danvers was not *just* creepy / evil.-Why did the relationship between Olivier and Fontaine seem off? Because it was. He was distant; she was naïve; it was supposed to be a weird match. They actually only really fall in love when she helps him cover up the murder (in the book, he DOES kill Rebecca, not just cover up her death - the revelation / plot twist is not just that he murdered her, but that she was a really manipulative and horrible piece of work under all of her "charms", and that he hated her.The book is amazing. I won't tell you everything that Hitchcock had to leave out, but the film does seem unfinished because of it (and Fontaine overacts like crazy).

Brilliantly edited and photographed filming of the famous Daphne du Maurier novel. Because other films of this era are today available in technicolor and this one only in black and white although it seems technicolor might be preferable on a reissue the artful brilliance of the photography and editing in capturing the mood and setting of the novel display Hitchcock at his most brilliant. Judith Anderson, Joan Fontaine, Laurence Olivier, Nigel Bruce, George Sanders, Gladys Cooper and Florence Bates seem most memorable among the strong from top to bottom cast. The argument less of the story is filmed than in the two still available today on DVD remakes seems of less importance than a stunning film which visually and aurally holds your interest in total delight and enticement from beginning to end.
