Rebecca (1940) is the classic Hitchcock gothic thriller and a compelling romance-mystery.
An expensively-produced film by David O. Selznick (following his recent success with Gone With The Wind (1939)), it was Hitchcock's first American film,
although it retained distinctly British characteristics.
This film won for the director his first and only Best Picture Academy Award Oscar, beating out strong competition in 1940 from The Grapes of Wrath,
The Great Dictator, The Philadelphia Story, and Hitchcock's own Foreign Correspondent.
The film also won an Academy Award for Cinematography, and was nominated in nine other categories, including Best Director.
The film's screenplay is based on Daphne du Maurier's novel of the same name.
