Trivia:
Just as in the original novel, Mrs. de Winter has no first name. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: Impossible police procedure: immediately after the inquest, the Chief Constable starts a possible murder inquiry, on his own, taking the chief suspect with him. The movie is only done in this way because it is faithful to the book. moreQuotes:
Mrs. Danvers: [brings out a negligee from under the bedcovers] Did you ever see anything so delicate?[motions the second Mrs. de Winter over]
Mrs. Danvers: Look, you can see my hand through it!

In his long career, Alfred Hitchcock directed many great films. Rebecca ranks as one of the greatest. It was the only Hitchcock movie to win a Best Picture Oscar and it was his first Hollywood film after leaving England. This was also the first film in which he adapted someone else's work, the famous novel by de Maurier.
This film features all the twists and strange characters you would expect from Hitchcock along with the trademark unexpected ending. Sir Laurence Olivier is great, as usual, as Maximillian de Winter. The stunning Joan Fontaine is wonderful as "the Second Mrs. de Winter". Rebecca is an entertaining thriller by one of the masters of film.
