This time Hitchcock does it all his way, does a splendid job and has a splendid cast to do it with.
One of the finest productional efforts of the past year.
Through its first two-thirds it is as perfect a myth of adolescence as any of the Disney films, documenting the childlike, nameless heroine's initiation into the adult mysteries of sex, death, and identity.
An altogether brilliant film, haunting, suspenseful, handsome and handsomely played.
The result exhibits that the director is capable of a range few would credit him with.
a clever mix of fancy drama and suspense
A few tiny scratches short of an early candidate for Blu-ray of the year, Fox's fully stocked HD package for Rebecca is an essential release of an exquisitely mixed-up masterpiece.
...a gothic romance in the classic sense. (Blu-ray edition)
While the film offers no overt violence or thrills, it is a model of sustained mystery and eerie suspense.
The real show-stopper remains Judith Anderson's formidable turn as Mrs. Danvers.
Excellent, but may be too long and moody for kids.
Both a tender gothic romance and a haunting ghost story.
A real treat. Captivating from its famous opening lines to its pyrotechnic finale, this is one of Hitchcock's finest -- and that's saying something.
[A] classic female gothic romance, beautifully adapted from Daphne du Maurier's novel, and hauntingly accompanied by Franz Waxman's score.
Fontaine & Olivier directed by Hitchcock - enjoy.
The meandering storyline, however, ultimately prevents the film from living up to its reputation as one of Hitchcock's best...
Anderson, Sanders, and Florence Bates all reveled in nasty roles; they look delighted sharpening their talons on Fontaine's little brown wren.
Alfred Hitchcock's first American film is an atmospheric triumph of suspense.
A gorgeous treat from one of cinema's masters. Not to be missed.
