Superb example of film making at its best. The production values and needle sharp black and white film actually enhance the story better than colour. Great acting from Holllywoods stock of British actors, mysterious plot and faultless direction from the Master, Hitchcock. Go and buy this!

I saw this film many years ago. A re-make has been on TV since, but it is not as good as the original. I loved it and will probably watch it again some time in the future
Rebecca is dead but she hasn't gone away. This film is all about the effect she still has on the people whose lives she touched while she was alive. Her influence remains strong even a year after her mysterious death - so strong that her widower, Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier) almost loses his balance every time something happens to remind him of her. And there are plenty of things that keep jumping up to remind him of her. His great ancestral pile, 'Manderley', is so filled with the echo of Rebecca's presence that his shy new wife is hardly able to compete. Mrs Danvers, the housekeeper, who seems to have loved Rebecca more than anybody, plays a game of psychological warfare with the second Mrs de Winter (whose first name we never learn) and at first succeeds in terrifying the young woman. The house is one of the characters in the film - a presence - as is the sea. Both are moody and restless. The curtains billow, the shadow of Mrs Danvers stalks the rooms and corridors and Rebecca's aura unsettles Maxim and his wife. The sea crashes against the rocks and shore below the house. Mists roll in and darkness seems to close around. The story, the acting, the cinematography (using the technology of 65 years ago!) and even the music all get top marks from me. Wonderful. Highly recommended.Read full review
