Movie Reviews of Rebecca
Movie Review: Among Hitchcock's best films
Summary: 5 Stars
This haunting film directed by Alfred Hitchcock from 1940, stars Laurence Olivier, and Joan Fontaine. The movie is based on the novel by Daphene du Maurier's 1938 novel of the same name. Hitchcock was relatively faithful to the book, except for the ending. This film was produced by David Selznick, who also produced "Gone With the Wind". "Rebecca" was Hitchock's only film to win an Academy Award even though it was Hitchock's first U.S. film.
This DVD was remastered and looks great. It also has many special features, including commentary from film critic Richard Schnikel, a making of featurette, screen tests, 3 radio plays, as well as Hitchcock audio interviews with Francois Truffaut and Peter Boganovich.
Summary of Rebecca
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 SimantonDrama DVD Video
