Rebecca
A Hitchcock special -- a creamy, thick, sweetish blend of genres, with ingredients from detective stories (what really happened to Rebecca?), Gothic thrillers (the haunted house, the unspoken-of past, the creepy housekeeper), and tearjerkers (Joan Fontaine's fern-like young wife struggling to preserve her marriage to Laurence Olivier, who's still in the grips of his Heathcliff gloom). Based on a Daphne Du Maurier book. With George Sanders, Judith Anderson. 1940.
