"Rebecca" --- JF Wardrobe Test

Just a test video of sorts to see if I've finally figured out how to rip DVDs and keep the quality straight.

Joan Fontaine's costume tests for "Rebecca". There's no audio on this clip, by the way, so don't strain your ears trying to listen. :)

There is a new DVD remastered version from MGM due to be released in October, 2008. Check Amazon. The new DVD is supposed to have some of the extras that the Criterion had.

Thanks for the info! :)

Where on earth did you get this?? Her facial expression looks like she might as well be going to a funeral. I thought the black dress was the only decent looking one out of them all. Great clip. Thanks.

[YouTalker]

I'm so glad they picked the outfits they did... some of these are truly cringe-worthy, I agree!

This is from the Criterion two-disk release of 'Rebecca'... the whole second DVD is filled with extras. I'd highly recommend getting it if you don't already have a copy of the movie.

Thanks for asking & glad you enjoyed it!

@thedeetzes This movie did come out after Gone with the Wind, but the movie Rebecca was actually scheduled to release at the same time as Gone with the Wind. It was held back a year so Joan Fontaine could have a chance of winning the academy award for best actress because Everyone knew that Vivien was going to win with her role in Gone with the Wind. The plan worked almost, because Joan was nominated but didn't win. So no they were not actually trying to recycle iconic pieces.

[thedeetzes]

@jeliyful not really. This movie came out after gone with the wind. I can't believe they'd even considered recycling such iconic pieces.

[jaybabes2]

lol i was shocked to see the the 2 dresses from gone with the wind that would have killed the picture but the first dress was first worn by norma sheer lvx

[reginaholic]

Oh my! Scarlett's dress!

[toothbrush55]

Wow, the first dress is intensely ugly, i'm glad they didn't choose that.

[gwtwcarlos]

yes!!, and the third dress was also worn by vivien leigh, when scarlett marries charles hamilton. carlos

[jeliyful]

That is Scarlets dress from GWTW exactly!

ha thats funny if vivien got this role she would have worn the dress much sooner

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Exactly :)

[Blanqui99]

Yes, I knew that already. It makes it even more likely. Interesting!

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Me too, but the dress was a dark burgundy red color so it might appear to look like black in black & white. But remember, David O. Selznick who was the producer of Rebecca, was also the prducer for GWTW and both movies were made around the same time.
