@AlliyaandRaza It doesn't say in the book that she is plain-looking, but rather that she thinks she is plain. That is quite different. It is more that she is modest and not flashy in her beauty like Rebecca was. She is supposed to be a pretty, young girl - exactly like Joan Fontaine!
Hey Sara! Not sure if u'll even see this comment but I hope so :) I hope you and the little eskimo are comfortable there, watching Rebecca? I miss you. You're the sweetest girl alive :)
Such a silly scene. Rebecca was the most stylish, dark, beautiful creature everyone ever saw and here's the mouse compared to her. Please, not even is she was wearing a black wig could she come close to Rebecca.
@hiatusinc I like her as well, her obsession is what makes her such an enjoyable character. She is the character you love to hate like cruella deville.
freeze it at 0:51, so freaky...Mrs. Danvers was one of those people who knew how to pick out and then exploit your weaknesses; She made me sick. She was an obsessive, cunning and sadistic psycho.
Does anyone else think that Selznick might have re-used that hat? It looks exactly like the straw hat with green ribbon that Scarlett O Hara wore throughout the first half of Gone with the Wind, including the fleeing scenes in Atlanta. It would have been an economical choice, don't you think?
Beautiful moment-- 8:30 In her Fancy Dress, walks down the stairs in eager anticipation of the surprise she is about to deliver. You can even see it on her face. In the book, at this moment, she had a member of the band announce her presence as "Ms. Caroline DeWinter!" -- also-- she changed into a blue dress and stayed the whole night at the ball.. miserable and unspoken to maxim. It was to be the happiest night, their official engagement party. Quickly turned into misery.
in the book.... the fancy dress ball was amazingly painful to witness and you were so SAD for her. .....................................She sure did look beautiful in that dress though.
You can see how afraid and scared she is!! She can never escape the spiritual spectral influence of Rebecca!!! It is incredible how a mere woman who is dead can have a lot of influence in the world of the living.
@Scoutpower1 She was not a mere woman, she was a terribly strong person and also very sick and demented. After she told Maixim the truth about eherself he was so appalled he never quite recovered.
hitch's movies were always ahead of their time. the special features on the dvd commentary say mrs. danvers and rebecca were lovers. rebecca was bi and sex crazed - she even had sex with her cousin played by george sanders
I used to work at jobs with a couple of double-crossers like mrs danvers lol i know the type
hitch's movies were always ahead of their time. the special features on the dvd commentary say mrs. danvers and rebecca were lovers. rebecca was bi and sex crazed - she even had sex with her cousin played by george sanders
@fusock She was wearing the same costume that Rebecca had worn at the previous year's ball. That's why Beatrice gasped, "Rebecca! Oh!" Mrs. de Winter told Maxim that she was going to give him the surprise of her life, and he thought she dressed like Rebecca to shock him. Of course, it was Mrs. Danvers who deliberately suggested the dress, knowing that Mrs. de Winter wearing it would provoke a reaction and humiliate her.
Ms. Danvers is played by the late Judith Anderson who was also cast in 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' along with Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman and Burl Ives. A superb actress..her roles were always so different and she yet she always played her roles very, very well. She's I think what one would call a 'character actress'. I'm not sure but I loved her acting....
Mrs. Danvers is an extremely ill individual, but sadly Mrs. Du Winter doesn't have the self confidence of maturity to do away with someone who is obviously so intertwined with the workings of Manderley. This actress who played Mrs. Danvers was superb...
"Listen to it. Listen to the sea." "Yeah. That's pretty neat." "So soothing. Listen." "Ok, well, thanks for showing me arou--" "Listen to it. Stay and listen. You look tired. So soothing." "Can you maybe take a step or two back so that our eyeballs aren't touching?" "I keep Mrs. DeWinter's underwear right over here. I like to touch it." "O...kay..." "Feel it on your skin." "I have to go." "So soft..." "Real good then. Okay. Carry on with your... duties... Thank--" "Spank me." "G'bye."
@nineczek Mrs deW is supposed to be plain-looking, even homely. Fontaine wasn't, and Leigh certainly not. In the '40's an actress would never wear makeup that made her look homely. We're more naturalistic now.
@foxyzzzzz Vivien Leigh wanted to play the part but was told she was too beautiful (Rebecca, the unseen force, had to be the focus for beauty) and they needed someone not quite so striking, hence Joan Fontaine.
@TheSkylur44true, vivien leigh is striking. but good thing they didnt choose her, i prefer joan fontaine, more innocent, purely beautiful. perfect for the role!
@zenith0000006 They said she was too beautiful for the part, which is true; not that Joan Fontaine is not, but her looks aren't as dramatic as Leigh's, so the only movie Viven Leigh and Olivier wound up doing together was That Hamilton Woman, which is fabulous.
@ready101okay "she's a psycho" - that's Alfred Hitchcock for you. The scene where Danvers appears silhouetted against the curtains is very reminiscent of Psycho. I wouldn't be surprised if he used her character as inspiration.
omg...the housekeeper is so obsessed with the first wife, it's too creepy. She's like admiring all her stuff and touching it. ALSO...why is everything monogrammed?? The husband should of gotten rid of it all! geezzz poor girl. Everything's just too weird for her.
I love the music that begins to play at 0:12, it really marks the climax of the scene. Also love how she runs to hug him at 3:07. All of of their hugs are so sweet, the ones at 4:20 and 4:33-35 are my favorites, they look so cute in those moments... I simply love that scene.
In the book the "I am Mrs De Winter now" assetiveness comes after she is sure Max never loved Rebecca and does love her. I don't think it works so well the way they have done it here - I mean, there's no real reason for her to have suddenly gained confidence
Complete agreement. She's supposed to be more afraid and disturbed by Danvers at this point. The turning point is, as you pointed out, when she discovers what Rebecca truly was.
Most certainly. David O. Selznick actually demanded that some of the dialogue be re-recorded because was dissatisfied. However, it was often done without consideration for the continuity of the scene. This is one of those moments.
i don't know about that... remember she had to work for the mean lady that hired her as a paid companion in the begining of the story. THAT woman had to pay someone to put up with her -lol! so she had it up to her neck with all these mrs. danvers-freaks in her life. so yea she decided to take control. one doesnt always need a man's love to give one confidence. we as humans can get strength from an overall life experience.
Jane Eyre is another book that shows a woman gaining independence without a man helping her. She leaves Mr. Rochester to see if she can learn to stand on her own two feet.
Eyre left Rochester because he already had a wife and she had character and principles. Her thinking is, "How long until he gets tired of me as well?" He wants him to truly value her and prove herself in the world. She was very wise, though she almost lost him.
YES. REMEMBER MAXIM TELLING HIS NEW WIFE A BOUT REBECCA AND "things that he will never tell a living soul"- WHAT DO YOU THINK HE WAS REFERRING TOO? AND REBECCA WAS FRIENDS WITH MRS DANVERS LONG BEFORE SHE BROUGHT HER TO MANDALAY.- THEY MET A LESBIAN BAR IN 1932. THEY'VE BEEN FREINDS EVER SINCE. NOT A TRUE REALTIONSHIP JUST "CLOSE BUDS" AND SHE LET MRS. DANVERS SEE HER NAKED ALOT TOO. BEFORE SHE WENT TO BED AND SLIPPED INTO HER PRETTY SEE THRU NIGHTGOWN.HAHA
why? who cares if they were lesbians. but if they were it certianly gives the story a whole new dimension. but in the end it is irrelevant. REBECCA was evil. and so was MRS. DANVERS. they both die horribly in the end as it should be. karma baby...
I agree!! When I looked up this movie (I had no idea what it was about and had never heard of it before) that was in the tagline and in the summary or whatever it said there would be secrets...I definitely think she was in love with Rebecca. She is crazy, though!!! =[
the new Mrs De Winter is supposed to be plain-looking. joan fontaine is quite pretty! this is sooooo different from the book!!

this movie has a subliminal lesbian angle. REBBECA most likey bisexual. and MRS. DANVERS was in love with her...

YES. REMEMBER MAXIM TELLING HIS NEW WIFE A BOUT REBECCA AND "things that he will never tell a living soul"- WHAT DO YOU THINK HE WAS REFERRING TOO? AND REBECCA WAS FRIENDS WITH MRS DANVERS LONG BEFORE SHE BROUGHT HER TO MANDALAY.- THEY MET A LESBIAN BAR IN 1932. THEY'VE BEEN FREINDS EVER SINCE. NOT A TRUE REALTIONSHIP JUST "CLOSE BUDS" AND SHE LET MRS. DANVERS SEE HER NAKED ALOT TOO. BEFORE SHE WENT TO BED AND SLIPPED INTO HER PRETTY SEE THRU NIGHTGOWN.HAHA

maybe u r right, I rely exclusively on the film, I haven't read the book...anyways, nobody is perfect!
Dereniti27 3 years ago
lol, i was kidding about them meeting in a lesbian bar in 1932. i don't know how they met. never read the book either.
hisluckienstar614 3 years ago
lol...let's hope they were not!:-)
Dereniti27 3 years ago
why? who cares if they were lesbians. but if they were it certianly gives the story a whole new dimension. but in the end it is irrelevant. REBECCA was evil. and so was MRS. DANVERS. they both die horribly in the end as it should be. karma baby...
hisluckienstar614 3 years ago
not in the book. mrs danvers doesnt die.

I agree!! When I looked up this movie (I had no idea what it was about and had never heard of it before) that was in the tagline and in the summary or whatever it said there would be secrets...I definitely think she was in love with Rebecca. She is crazy, though!!! =[
