Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: Rebecca is an ageless, timeless adult movie about a woman who marries a widower but fears she lives in the shadow of her predecessor. This was Hitchcock's first American feature, and it garnered the Best Picture statue at the 1941 Academy Awards. In today's films, most twists and surprises are ridiculous or just gratuitous, so it's sobering to look back on this film where every revelation not only shocks, but makes organic sense with the story line. Laurence Olivier is dashing and weak, fierce and cowed. Joan Fontaine is strong yet submissive, defiant yet accommodating. There isn't a false moment or misstep, but the film must have killed the employment outlook of any women named Danvers for about 20 years. Brilliant stuff. --Keith Simanton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Do you speak Taiwanese?This is a typically excellent Afred Hitchcock movie. Unfortunately I purchased mine from a 3rd party vendor in the US through Amazon along with Notorious.

The development of the charactures is exelant. The story of a girl becoming a woman and what a woman! If I had only one film to watch it would be this! Rating: - Outstanding Video Quality.As both the Criterion and earlier Anchor Bay releases of Hitchcock's "Rebecca" are out-of-print and very exspensive to purchase as used, I decided to try this Korean import. Turns out to be excellent and appears to come from the Criterion source! It even has their excellent Commentary Track. The many other Extras found on the Criterion release are not included, but the picture, sound and commentary are all first class. A great DVD at a rock-bottom price! Rating: - A masterpiece of mystery and suspense.Rebecca is an atmospheric psychological drama that tells the story of a young, naive girl who marries a man of means who is recently widowed. She moves to Manderley, a house with all the best qualities of the house in Dark Shadows, to find that all the servants and the housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, have some mysterious allegiance to Rebecca, the deceased wife. The young wife's weaknesses are manipulated ruthlessly by Mrs. Danvers, who strangely seems to be maintaining a shrine to Rebecca. Her dedication ...

Wonderful mystery that keeps you wondering until it ends and you wish it didn't. Browse for similar items by category:
