7 Things You *Probably* Should Know About Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca" | Part I
VloĆŸit

- Hello everyone! Today we have the first "installment" of a two-part video talking about Alfred Hitchcock's film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's great novel "Rebecca". We will go over 7 different aspects that are relevant or really interesting to know and give us a fair look on why both the film and the source material on which it was based were two incredible artistic productions. I thought of this theme as a single unique video but I realized that there was far too much information for me to condense in just one. That is why I have decided to publish it in two parts so that is more "digestible" and entertaining for you to watch. That is always my aim so I hope that you find this one enjoyable and informative đ

#AlfredHitchcock #Rebecca #DaphneduMaurier - ZĂĄbava
As you may have guessed from my You Tube name, this is a favorite film for me. Watched it again earlier this year. You are right, that Manderly is practically another character in the story. I would love to live in a place like that, with a staff of servants, keeping the fire going in the morning room. I believe though that I would have given Mrs. Danvers her pink slip after Rebecca's death. By the way, I really like the graphics in your videos. Very nicely done.
In America, we call the sweaters that button up the front a cardigan. When you wear a sleeveless or short-sleeved sweater with a matching cardigan over that, the combination is (or was) call a twin set. I never knew that cardigans were called Rebeccas in Spain! I'm really looking forward to the new adaptation, but the Hitchcock version will always be a classic! Great video!!!
Thank you for the explanation and great comment Jewel đđ»I thought they might be called cardigans but I loved learning about the twin set! Makes a lot of sense actually. In Spain, we spell them "rebecas" with just one 'c' because for some reason that is how we spell the name but it is definitely they way we refer to cardigans :) I am also very curious about the new adaptation and it was great to watch Hitchcock's film again, such a beautifully made movie!
My favorite movie and book. We called the knitted vest / cardigan pairing (known as a 'Rebecca') a 'twin set'. I grew up in California. If you haven't seen it before find Carol Burnett's parody 'Rebecky' on CZcams. It's hysterical.
I definitely have to check that out, thank you for watching.
Miriam, I love this artistic discussion of Rebecca! đ So fascinating and marvelously done âšđŹ I also find it so neat that Spain is in love with the film to the point of paying homage through their fashion! đ„ đ Rebecca is my favorite book and I had the privilege of reading most of it at a park near me with an English style mansion along the shore. đWith the perfect setting, I imagined I was at Manderley. It was wonderful! đ P.S. Thanks for reminding me to grab a copy of the Truffaut book and for the great video! âšđ
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment, Ari! I also love that we've incorporated a bit of literature into clothing as well. Such a wonderful setting! Wouldn't it be great to experience that for every book we enjoy, to be transported into an evocative setting? Wow, I'd love that. âš
In Canada , we call them sweaters . You also can sometimes hear them called cardigans as well . Not as cool as calling them Rebeccas . Thank you for this review !
Really enjoyed your post..will look for your posts regarding architecture and Hitchcock..totally agree about Manderley
Thank you for watching, Fiona.
I loved your post. Rebecca is one of my favourite movies and book, in fact Daphne du Maurier is my favourite writer. I haven't seen the movie or read the book for a number of years and you've inspired me to look at both again. Thank you.
Thank you, Jenny. I hope you can get to watch and read again your favorite Rebecca. Such a powerful story.
i always thought of her as having a simple name like ann
That''s a good guess. I thought of "Joan" because that's the actress' name - ha !
Not gonna lie... I may have let out a little âAH! NO!â when the âto be continuedâ popped up đ! I was so enjoying this video! Canât wait for part 2! đ
I shall now refer to âcardigansâ as âRebeccasâ till the end of time, as that is downright adorable đ
I had no idea Margaret Sullavan was considered for the part!! I love Joan in the role but oh boy... I think Margaret would have brought something special to the part. I am slightly biased though đ I agree with you re. Vivian Leigh. I think the timing would have worked against her too. Audiences may have still been clinging to Scarlett and therefore would have had trouble seeing her as âmouseyâ Mrs. de Winter II.
So pleased they went with Larry for Maxim đ
I havenât rewatched âRebeccaâ in ages, so that will be happening soon! Youâve totally got me intrigued with the creation of Manderlay đ Going to see if I can tell when miniatures were used Vs. larger sets now đ
Wonderful and super informative as always Miriam! xox
Hahaha, thank you Lee!! đI had to film this one in two parts because my battery wouldn't hold up to all the jabbering I did for this film so eventually I thought it would make sense to divide it as well. I ended up finding interesting things to talk about so hopefully part 2 would be just as entertaining đđ»:)
Isn't it wonderful? I also love that we call it "rebecas" (actually we spell it with one 'c' here) but in any case, it would be so lovely for you to also refer them as 'Rebeccas' đ
Yes, I am also quite partial to Margaret Sullavan and the chance to see her play a part like this one would have been something else. There is always the radio adaptation with Orson and Mildred Natwick, also quite a casting if you ask me! I also think that Joan and Larry are terrific in the Hitchcock version. So glad I found that other radio version too! It is quite interesting to listen to if you have the chance, a bit more theatrical but it almost counts as a audiobook đ
Yes, so great how they created it! It is my understanding that the smaller miniature was the one including the road leading up to Manderley so I think when we see them in a car in from of the house, that's the small one.
I so appreciate your comment Lee! đxox
