HITCHCOCK - REBECCA(1940)
This melodrama starts slow and plods along for about an hour
and a half! But then then whole plot shows up and the drama
steps up considerably!! Not the best of Hitchcock(I know I'm
stepping on a lot of toes here), but the ending is quite a
shock and worth sticking through the whole thing! B
From IMDb.com:
In his long career, Alfred Hitchcock directed many great
films. Rebecca ranks as one of the greatest. It was the only
Hitchcock movie to win a Best Picture Oscar and it was his
first Hollywood film after leaving England. This was also
the first film in which he adapted someone else's work,
the famous novel by de Maurier.
This film features all the twists and strange characters
you would expect from Hitchcock along with the trademark
unexpected ending. Sir Laurence Olivier is great, as usual,
as Maximillian de Winter. The stunning Joan Fontaine is
wonderful as "the Second Mrs. de Winter". Rebecca is an
entertaining thriller by one of the masters of film. - dave fitz
