Rebecca
DramaMysteryRomanceThriller130 min
After a whirlwind romance in Monte Carlo, Joan Fontaine is a young bride who marries widower Maxim de Winter and follows him to Manderley, his vast Cornwall estate. There, Laurence Olivier’s reserved Maxim keeps parts of his past sealed off, while the house still seems arranged around the memory of his first wife, Rebecca. Judith Anderson’s Mrs. Danvers, the devoted housekeeper, treats the new Mrs. de Winter as an intruder, turning daily routines into a quiet struggle for place and authority. Alfred Hitchcock shapes the story as a gothic mystery, with marriage, class anxiety, and obsession pressing in from every room.
