Alfred Hitchcock Instagram – In March 1940, Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca premiered in theaters across the United States and was solidified as a Hitchcock sensation from a multitude of reviews from various publications. The New York Daily News wrote:
“The film drama made from Daphne du Maurier’s best-selling novel, ‘Rebecca,’ which was introduced at the Music Hall yesterday morning, is a ‘best movie’ on a number of counts.
First, it is the finest job of direction accomplished by a master director and may justly be called Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece. Second, it is the most interesting of the du Maurier stories to reach the screen. Third, Laurence Olivier gives the greatest performance of his career, as the doubtful hero of the story and the loveliest star born this year is Joan Fontaine who plays the pathetic heroine, the second Mrs. de Winter. And, most important of all, it is the best all around production of reach the screen since the dawn of the new year.”
