Alfred Hitchcock’s masterful adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's REBECCA (Academy Award Winner for Best Picture, 1940) is as haunting as it is fascinating, starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. 

When a young, initially unnamed woman (Fontaine) meets the charming aristocratic widower Maxim de Winter (Olivier), the pair quickly get married and move into the latter’s estate. While living in his home, and assuming the surname Mrs. de Winter, she meets the jealous, obsessed housekeeper Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson), who begins to illuminate the notion that not everything regarding Maxim’s first wife is that it seems. While the spectre of the original Mrs. de Winter continues to live on throughout the house, the mysterious circumstances of her death and Maxim’s secrecy soon consume his new wife.
