 | Description: | Romance becomes psychodrama in Alfred Hitchcock's elegantly crafted Rebecca, his first foray into Hollywood filmmaking. A dreamlike adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel, the film stars the enchanting Joan Fontaine as a young woman who believes she has found her heart's desire when she marries the dashing aristocratic widower Maxim de Winter (played with cunning vulnerability by Laurence Olivier). But upon moving to Manderley her groom s baroque ancestral mansion she soon learns that his deceased wife haunts not only the home but the temperamental, brooding Maxim as well. The start of Hitchcock's legendary collaboration with producer David O. Selznick, this elegiac gothic vision, captured in stunning black and white by George Barnes, took home the Academy Awards for best picture and best cinematography.Rebecca, released in 1940 and now available on Blu-Ray from Criterion, is a timeless psychological thriller directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock. This adaptation of Daphne du Maurier?s classic novel stars Laurence Olivier as the brooding Maxim de Winter and Joan Fontaine as his innocent new wife, whose life becomes overshadowed by the haunting memory of Rebecca, Maxim's first wife. Judith Anderson delivers an unforgettable performance as Mrs. Danvers, the sinister housekeeper obsessed with her former mistress. The film won two Academy Awards including Best Picture and remains one of Hitchcock?s most celebrated works for its suspenseful storytelling and atmospheric cinematography.
