Вчера я смотрела еще один фильм Хичкока, "Неприятности с Гарри" с Ширли МакЛейн. Ужасно не моё.
А еще бывают фильмы, в которые влюбляешься с первых же минут!
"Ребекка" - великолепный фильм!

С самого начала меня к себе расположила милейшая Джоан Фонтейн.
Она такая искренняя, newcommer на момент создания фильма.
И мне определенно хочется посмотреть и другие её фильмы.
Лоуренс Оливье ...

Во первых такоой красивый.

А во вторых как же он играет!
И Бог ты мой, как же страшна и безумна эта миссис Денверс!


The first film Alfred Hitchcock made in Hollywood and the only one that won a Best Picture Oscar.
Alfred Hitchcock wanted to make this film several years before but was unable to afford the rights to the novel.
Mrs. Danvers is hardly ever seen walking; she seems to glide. Alfred Hitchcock wanted her to be seen solely from
Just as in the original novel, Mrs. de Winter has no first name.
Over 20 actresses were tested for the role of Mrs. de Winter, which eventually went to newcomer Joan Fontaine.
One of them was Vivien Leigh, who Laurence Olivier was pressing for, as they were a couple at the time.
Because Laurence Olivier wanted his then-girlfriend Vivien Leigh to play the lead role, he treated Joan Fontaine horribly.
This shook Fontaine up quite a bit, so Alfred Hitchcock decided to capitalize on this by telling her EVERYONE on the set hated her,
thus making her shy and uneasy - just what he wanted from her performance.
In order to maintain the dark atmosphere of the book, Alfred Hitchcock insisted that the film be shot in black and white.
David O. Selznick wanted the smoke from the burning Manderley to spell out a huge R.
Alfred Hitchcock thought the touch lacked any subtlety. When Selznick was preoccupied by Gone with the Wind,
Hitchcock was able to replace the smoky R with the burning of a monogrammed lingerie case.
He also edited the picture in the camera, a method of filmmaking that didn't allow Selznick the opportunity to re-edit the picture - хех, хитрожопый Альфред!
