God, this is such a fine film. Olivier is absolute perfection, every line, every tone. Fontaine was also the perfect nameless wife. Such a lovely, lovely film.

I saw this film in 1940. I loved Joan Fontaine's acting and Laurence's voice then. Still do, one and only "Rebecca" film for me!

8:59 The movement of the camera when he described what happened to Rebecca. Making you picture it in your head

[@robedwards6096]

One if best films ever made and still looks as good today

[@12classics39]

I like how the film changed Rebecca’s death to being an accident rather than a murder. The unnamed heroine doesn’t deserve to be married to a murderer; it makes the novel quite unsettling. Here you actually root for their relationship because Maxim proves himself to still be a good enough person in the end and they finally have a truly loving marriage which will clearly survive the loss of Manderley. Also, I feel like having Maxim be guilty of murder sucks all the suspense out of the ending. In the novel, we hope Maxim will be found out and put in jail. But in the film, the stakes are much higher because he is innocent, meaning if Favell convinces the authorities that it was murder, Maxim will go to jail for something he didn’t do.

Imagine the emotional damage that Maxim had been living with ever since marrying Rebecca Heinrich De Winter.

Superbe film!

[@Rick_Foley]

"But you didn't kill her. It was an accident." He just told you, step by step, how he killed her!

[@peace__777]

.....accidentally

[@IndomitableT]

She stumbled and fell hitting her head on a heavy piece of ship’s tackle, so he did not kill her and indeed it was an accident in this movie adaptation. It is actually the one deviation from the book that I did not like in this, otherwise excellent, 1940 movie.😌

[@joerogers540]

@@IndomitableT Does the book tell us what Rebecca told Maxim on their honeymoon that made him want to kill Rebecca?

[@IndomitableT]

@@joerogers540. Not literally, although a certain depiction is heavily implied. Maxim says that what Rebecca told him about herself, he should never repeat to a living soul. Furthermore he describes Rebecca as not even normal, and his marriage as living with the devil. Within that first week of their marriage when she told him about herself, she also made a bargain with him to be the perfect wife to the outward world and run Manderley to become the most perfect estate in the country, so everyone would love and envy them from outside their marriage. This meant that Maxim would and could never have a happy and loving marriage as he probably had expected. This conversation happened at that precipice from the drive in Monte Carlo. It was then and there that Maxim had the urge to push Rebecca off it, and did not.

[@12classics39]

@@joerogers540 from the implication, I’d assume she committed crimes, perhaps prostituted herself for a while, maybe even killed someone.

Que cena! Que atuação do Laurence Oliver e da Joan Fontaine! Que trilha sonora!

[@asmaasoliman9605]

The movie is very fantastic

[@robedwards6096]

Laurance olivier was best maxim der winter .

[@MclubAchannel]

He doesn't love her at all, she merry with the wrong man, such poor woman! I wasn't understand it all while I was little.

[@12classics39]

It’s strange that it takes him so long to admit he loves her. At the start of the scene she says “I won’t ask that you should love me,” opening the door for him to confirm he does love her, but for some reason he doesn’t.

[@maimunatasnim4551]

Terrible acting by the actor playing Maxim.

[@suziemorgan-stewart918]

The actor playing Maxim is our most esteemed Shakespearean actor Sir Lawrence Olivier. !!

[@Rick_Foley]

@@suziemorgan-stewart918 Maybe it was terrible directing by whoever directed.

[@missyadams]

@@Rick_Foley terrible directing by The Master of Suspense???!

[@smurfette_blues7922]

I think he was solid. Joan fontaine's acting seems a bit much to me

[@missyadams]

@@smurfette_blues7922 Joan Fontaine related closely to the character she played. This was her first leading role and she was doing her best to prove she was as good as her sister Olivia
