Today's feature is master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock's first American film and his only film to win the Best Picture Oscar. A classic thriller and beware of strange, demented housekeepers.

Man, you can’t beat the old movies. Didn’t use a lot of swear words, no nudity, no ridiculous graphics.

How did they ever do it/sarc

Thanks. Will watch!

I never saw the movie, but I read the book. “Rebecca” was written by Daphne Du Maurier. It was a very good story by a talented writer (imho).

Du Maurier also wrote the short story that Hitchcock made into the movie “The Birds.”

And if you want to see a movie in 2013, the purge and now you see it are fantastic. Fast and furious SIX is excellent. Hollywood is putting out great films in 2013.

My Mom’s all-time favorite movie.

The author of the Book “Rebecca” also wrote a short story that inspired Hitchcock’s REALLY scary movie, “THE BIRDS”.

Rebecca is one of my favorites. I’m surprised there’s never been a remake.

One of the few where the movie was as good as the book.
