Reviews

Pauline Kael

New Yorker

Magnificent romantic-gothic corn, full of Alfred Hitchcock's humor and inventiveness.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com

Don't go to Rebecca thinking you will see some sort of horror or freak movie. It is not a Frankenstein, but an intensely dramatic piece with all the suspense and emotional appeal you could cram into one movie.

London Evening Standard

Hitch concentrates on telling the story. He tells it beautifully, but without the filmic asides for which he is celebrated.
