Based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier, the classic
psychological thriller Rebecca was Alfred Hitchcock's first
American film. Joan Fontaine plays the unnamed narrator, a young
woman who works as a companion to the well-to-do Mrs. Van Hopper
(Florence Bates). She meets the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter
(Laurence Olivier) in Monte Carlo, where they fall in love and get
married. Maxim takes his new bride to Manderlay, a large country
estate in Cornwall. However, the mansion's many servants refuse to
accept her as the new lady of the house. They seem to be loyal to
Maxim's first wife, Rebecca, who died under mysterious
circumstances. Particularly cruel to her is the prim housekeeper
Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson), who is obsessed with Rebecca. She
continually attests to her beauty and virtues (referring to her as
the real Mrs. de Winter) and even preserves her former bedroom as a
shrine. The new Mrs. de Winter is nearly driven to madness as she
begins to doubt her relationship with her husband and the presence
of Rebecca starts to haunt her. Eventually, an investigation leads
to the revelation about Rebecca's true nature. Producer David O.
Selznick had the final cut of the picture, which was drastically
altered from Hitchcock's original vision. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All
