Rebecca (1940)
This brilliant adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's classic novel stars Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. It was Hitchcock's first Hollywood film and won an Oscar for Best Picture. A timid young girl marries the handsome but troubled Cornish Landowner Maxim de Winter, but very soon realises that her life is dominated by the image and memories of her husband's first wife, Rebecca.

The housekeeper, still devoted to Rebecca, makes the second Mrs. de Winter's life a misery. Soon after Rebecca's death is revealed as suicide, events take another dramatic turn, finally casting aside the spectre of Rebecca.
