Review

Hitchcock's first Hollywood movie is a Gothic masterpiece based on the book by Daphne Du Maurier. Fontaine plays a passive and awkward paid companion for the snooty dowager Mrs. Van Hopper. While on vacation at Monte Carlo, she falls in love with the ominous and rich Maxim de Winter (Olivier) who whisks her off to his mansion. However, his mysterious attachment to his deceased first wife wreaks havoc upon their marriage. The most durable performance comes from Anderson as the creepy Mrs. Danvers, the fanatically devoted housekeeper (paramour?) of the first Mrs. de Winter, whose eventual death/suicide echoes that of the "mad woman in the attic" in "Jane Eyre." A chilling script and superb acting and direction won Rebecca an Oscar for Best Picture.
