(The suspenseful 1940 AA Best Picture, his first shot in America by legendary director Alfred Hitchcock starring Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier with Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers–above right–and George Sanders as the evil ‘cousin’ of Rebecca)
(from the Premiere Collection of early Hitchcock)
Nothing like a truckload of Gothic mystery and romance from the pen of Daphne du Maurier complete with the mysterious ambiguous death of Rebecca with her husband implicated. Good look, script, musical score, and black-and-white atmosphere. Hitchcock would later return to du Maurier for The Birds.
