Based on Daphne du Maurier’s 1939 novel of the same name, Rebecca is the story of young woman who marries a fascinating widower only to find out that she must live in the shadow of his former wife, Rebecca, who died mysteriously several years earlier. The young wife (Joan Fontaine) must come to grips with the terrible secret of her handsome, cold husband, Maxim De Winter (Laurence Olivier) and deal with the jealous, obsessed Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson), the housekeeper, who will not accept her as the mistress of the house. A Gothic fairy-tale with suspense created by character more than actions, Rebecca is the only film of Hitchcock’s to win the Best Picture Oscar.
Cinema Gourmet will offer five more screenings during the season: Walt Disney’s second animated and award winning feature, Pinocchio on November 14; Blade Runner, Ridley Scott’s dystopian futuristic thriller; Fences starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis on February 13; John Wayne and James Stewart in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance on March 13; and the film that made us all afraid to go swimming, Jaws, directed by Steven Spielberg on April 10.
