Hollywood at its finest, just before WW II. I'm sure Laurence Olivier and Vivian Leigh are in Heaven with Scarlett O'Hara, Max DeWinter, Heathcliff, and Blanche Du Bois.... need I say more....
There is a problem with some movies being better than the books or the books being better than the movies. I think that Rebecca is the exception where the book and the film go well together. A perfect book for a group discussion and perfect for a film club.
Franz Waxman's scores are among the best- he was a brilliantly trained composer. This is one of the best- that slick theme for Rebecca helps bring her vividly to life even though you never see her! Really enjoyed your accompanying video. thank you
I love Franz Waxman. He is right up there with Bernard Herrman and Alfred Newman. Check out some of gems on Twilight Zone........absolutely stunning. Ahhh!
@Jazsngr Oh my god... who knows waxman and rosza and steiner who doesn't know herrmann? I have soo muc h music from him... Psycho, Marnie, The man who knew too much, N by NW , Farenheit 451, Taxi Driver, The rejected Torn Curtain score... he is my overall favorite!!!
Do they never show rebecca?

That is a fantastic point. Indeed, the film and novel of Rebecca are equally atmospheric, unique and exceptional.
