Rebecca

Rebecca. Rebecca. Rebecca. Rebecca. Rebecca. Rebecca! These name "Rebecca" causes the second Mrs. de Winter heartache and more reason for insecurites. A women, who just married a man and the man and people in the household talked about his ex wife constantly, has the right to be alittle upset.....Don't you think? The main characters of the classic story Rebecca are Laurence Oliver, who plays Maxim' de Winter, The Second Mrs. de Winter, played by Joan Fontaine, George Sanders stars as Jack Favell, and Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers. Alfred Hitchcook, the producer, realeased his masterpiece on April 12, 1940. Rebecca was nominated for 9 Oscars and won 2.

The movie begins with the soon to be The Second Mrs. de Winter getting sweep away in a carriage of romance with the Widowed Maxim de Winter. They are extremely happy and smitten with eachother. However, the name Rebecca continues to haunt the new de Winter and her new found relationship. Rebecca becomes, in the new de Winter's mind, everything she is not, which causes her to be extremely insecure in herself. The tension can't be broken as the staff stirs up some trouble in The Second de Winter's world.

Alfred Hitchcook did a great job at conveying the emotion, suspense, and tension through out his well thought movie. He sets the right moods in scenes as the story unfolds using contrasting light and dramtic pauses. The unknown mystery helps the audience stay awake, however, there is no way they would blink with the ammount of suspense in this motion picture. I definitely would recommend Rebecca to anyone.
