"Last Night, I Dreamt I Went To Manderley Again."
Rebecca's haunting opening line conjures the entirety of Hitchcock's romantic, suspenseful, elegant film. A young woman (Joan Fontaine) believes her every dream has come true when her whirlwind romance with the dashing Maxim de Winter (Sire Laurence Olivier) culminates in marriage. But she soon realizes that Rebecca, the late first Mrs. de Winter, haunts both the temperamental, brooding Maxim and the de Winter mansion, Manderley. In order for Maxim and the new Mrs. de Winter to have a future, Rebecca's spell must be broken and the mystery of her violent dead unraveled. The first collaboration between producer David O. Selznick and Hitchcock, Rebecca was adapted from Daphne du Maurier's popular novel and won the 1940 Academy Award®? for Best Picture and Cinematography (Black and White).

What a wonderful film!!! - 4 out of 5 (11/23/2002)
I have always enjoyed Alfred Hitchcock films, and I picked this one up at Blockbuster. I had no idea just how great of film this was. Immediately after viewing this film, I ordered the movie on DVD.
As most of Hitchcocks films, this has twists and turns throughout; ones you would never expect. If you like Hitchcock films, this is one of his best. I highly recommend it.
