LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Rebecca
built 221 days ago
Rebecca is an ageless, timeless adult movie about a woman who marries a widower but fears she lives in the shadow of her predecessor. This was Hitchcock's first American feature, and it garnered the Best Picture statue at the 1941 Academy Awards. In today's films, most twists and surprises are ridiculous or just gratuitous, so it's sobering to look back on this film where every revelation not only shocks, but makes organic sense with the story line. Laurence Olivier is dashing and weak, fierce and cowed. Joan Fontaine is strong yet submissive, defiant yet accommodating. There isn't a false moment or misstep, but the film must have killed the employment outlook of any women named Danvers for about 20 years.

Upon further investigation of the area, Rebecca uncovered the Umbrella Corporation's secret company train, the Ecliptic Express. Rebecca, chose not to radio for backup as she believed she could handle things by herself. Within the train, Rebecca immediately encountered the passengers, who were already turned into zombies as a result of an earlier attack. Rebecca was able to fend for herself for a time and met with the fugitive, Billy Coen. After witnessing the death of Bravo Team member Edward Dewey, as well as the appearance of mutated animals, Rebecca and Billy made a temporary alliance and teamed up. The train began to move again, due to the dextrous manipulations of Umbrella operatives sent by Wesker and Birkin.

Rebecca has been adapted several times. The most notable of these was the Academy Award winning 1940 Alfred Hitchcock film version Rebecca, the first film Hitchcock made under his contract with David O. Selznick. The film, which starred Laurence Olivier as Max, Joan Fontaine as the Heroine, and Dame Judith Anderson as Mrs Danvers was based on the novel. However, the Hollywood Production Code required that if Max had murdered his wife, he would have to be punished for his crime. Therefore, the key turning point of the novel -- the revelation that Max, in fact, murdered Rebecca -- was altered so that it seemed Rebecca's death was accidental. At the end of the film version, Mrs Danvers perishes in the fire.
