A string of classic suspense films produced in England had
earned Alfred Hitchcock a reputation in the United States, and his
first American production, REBECCA, cemented his fame. Based on the
novel by Daphne du Maurier, REBECCA was conceived to rival producer
David O. Selznick's previous epic, GONE WITH THE WIND. This
psychological thriller, however, derives its grandeur from
Hitchcock's careful cultivation of the title character's haunting
legacy. Joan Fontaine takes the starring role and narrates the
story of her life as the second Madam de Winter. Fontaine, young
and innocent, meets the worldly and sophisticated Maxim de Winter
(Laurence Olivier) while vacationing on the Riviera. After a
whirlwind romance and marriage, the two return to his opulent
English estate, Maderley, where Fontaine begins to realize she is
not entirely welcome in her new role. Chief among her detractors is
housekeeper Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson), who points out her
every failing in relation to the previous mistress of the house,
Rebecca. Fontaine is nearly driven to suicide by her inability to
understand the mysterious legacy of the first wife. However, when a
ship washes ashore, the mystery begins to unravel, setting the
stage for the memorable and fiery climax.
