A self-conscious bride is tormented by the memory of her husband's dead first wife. Rebecca's way too silly plot ruins of what could have been a terrific film but unfortunately reaches it's breaking point as it keeps going and going, the acting was good i'll give them that for sure but as a whole? it's not that good of a film i mean it's no 'Psycho' or even just a 'Rear Window' at least and that's sad cause Alfred Hitchcock is a pretty good director or was is the right word but this movie is without a doubt one of his worsts cause of that silly little plot and story. (4/10)
If there was an Oscar for most boring picture, Rebecca surely deserves it. Rebecca made my fall asleep. Besides being boring, the film had no story and a lack of suspense. Hitchcock at his worst. Again, this film is boring. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Greetings from Lithuania."Rebecca" (1940) was highly entertaining movie for me. I didn't expect it to be so involved into this story which was more and more unpredictable, plausible and simply interesting to watch. And here is a great craftsmanship from this movie from a legendary director - is superbly paced (at running time 2 hours it never dragged), it was flawlessly acted by all three leads and writing was great.Overall, while "Rebecca" (1940) is not a masterpiece from "that era", its simply a great movie. Its highly involving and superbly made. Great movie.
This classical Hitchcock's Gothic mystery irresistibly reminds of "Gone With the Wind" (same producer), and also of Jane air (screenplay is based on novel of the same name by Daphne Maurie and it's written on the model of Charlotte Bronte). This is the first Hitchcock American/Hollywood movie so it has typical British flavor, like all previous Hitchcock mysteries. It is nominated for 11 Oscars and has won 2, for the best movie and the best black and white cinematography. I wouldn't say it's one of the best movies of all time, but it surely is masterpiece.9/10
