this scene was truly heartbreaking. she was so excited to show him her costume and mrs danvers sabotaged her and she didn't know what she did wrong. ugh this just makes me so upset
In reality... It's the scene where the female protagonist should pack up leave the love interest but in movies they don't. Thats why this is good gothic horror. She stays. Another good movie is The Heiress with Olivia De Havilland.
@@zensasmr Olivia De havilland is Joan Fontaine sister and she was just brilliant in the Heiress.You will probably like Dragonwyck with Gene Tierney which is an excellent gothic horror also.
@@angiepronzola6622 I loved Dragonwyck. Vincent Price is always wonderful. It's also great seeing Gene Tierney. She is stunning. I enjoyed her acting in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
Hitchcock directed that descent from the stairs scene so well... and it’s even more impressive that this is the SECOND time he directed a suspenseful scene where she tried to impress Maxim with a new dress (and failed!).
You noticed that too. While Rebecca was slowly stepping down the camera was following her slowly at eye-level. A technically difficult shot to say the least.
Reading this book for a class! But I do enjoy it dearly. But the way Mrs. Danvers treated Mrs. De Winter (new) was very messed up, and made me very upset.
Before walking away from the window, Mrs. De Winter should’ve slapped Mrs. Danvers. She never once stands up to Mrs. Danvers and it makes the climax extremely unsatisfying because all the focus shifts onto Maxim and off of the crucial conflict between the two women.
Sorry in the clinches where it really matters Joan Fontaine (who is very pretty) starts overacting in that older 19th century style... hand to forehead strike a pose. So even in Shakespeare etc or Christopher Fry there's a more contemporary sensibility that works for me but this ain't it. Look I like the chracter whose drawn sympathetically just not crazy about Fontaine's acting. PS I'm curious about the other productions now.
In retrospect, though, I get the impression that JF was overrated, which may anger some people. The tricks up her sleeves were unfortunately limited - the arched eyebrow and the drooping mouth, etc. Although I prefer her to her sister, Olivia, JF, unfortunately pales in comparison to the acting prowess of the former.
@@gilbertdaroy6080 I most definitely agree that she pales in comparison to her sister’s acting and you are so right about that annoying arched eyebrow which was very much in fashion for most actresses of that period,and the drooping of the mouth but nonetheless,I still love Joan Fontaine, although not as much as Olivia.I still love this movie though
Dame Judith Anderson forever made this role her own.

The hardest scene in the movie to watch...

@@gilbertdaroy6080. Rebecca??🤔
"go on. you know you want to. why don't you" Brilliant scene. Better than hammer horror.
Mike Harvey : “Yes Thank you.” *bodily seizes Danvers and shoves her out*
A diabolical "Job's comforter."
It would seem that Edith Danvers did not know that Maxim hated Rebecca.
Nobody knew, except possibly Jack Favell

The scene where she’s getting herself ready is one of the best!!
Love this movie ... great great Melodramatic Performance by Fontaine ...

The acting is very weak
