Description

SUMMER CLASSICS 2024

 

"Hitchcock's first American film (and his only Best Picture winner), Rebecca is a masterpiece of haunting atmosphere, Gothic thrills, and gripping suspense."

Rotten Tomatoes

 

"Fog, shipwreck, an insane man wandering the beach, water-soaked corpses, inquests, forbidden chambers and finally a destroying fire in a big English country house — all these flesh-curling delights are to be found in Rebecca."

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 

This Alfred Hitchcock classic is the story of a young woman (Joan Fontaine) who marries a fascinating widower only to discover that she must live in the shadow of his former wife, Rebecca, who died mysteriously several years earlier. The young wife must come to grips with the terrible secret of her handsome, cold husband, Max De Winter (Laurence Olivier). She must also deal with the jealous, obsessed Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson), the housekeeper, who will not accept her as the mistress of the house.
