This is one of my favorite scenes in Rebecca bravo to both Lawrence olivier n the young, innocent Joan Fontaine 👏 🙌 😀 👌 👍 ❤️ I ❤❤❤ this classic film during the golden era of cinematic generation keep it coming!!!! ❤️ 😅😅😅😅
I've been hooked on this movie all my life pre-cable television and pre-internet, I used to wait patiently for it to come around on a late Saturday night movie! Call it what you want but this man loves her, no matter his sometimes troubling attitudes. He needs her and she certainly knows how to comfort him. She's pretty and he's too handsome for his own good. Whew!
@toothbrush55 - Yeah it's true (well, as true as IMDB can be). Hitchcock thought this was awesome and told Joan Fontaine that everyone else on set hated her too, which made her all shy and uneasy in front of the camera - exactly what he wanted for her character. Laurence Olivier is such a babe in this film, I was so gutted to find out!
the book ofcourse,is perfection,olivier is pissed that vivien leigh did not get the part, and i think he is rather dull and trying but still, good movie, saved by the leading lady,and omg, the housekeeper
one can say that, but on the other hand, pop music then actually conformed to what we hear in this movie, and the movie industry was no better then now. They made what selled. This movie selled very well. Only ten years later, there was a massive reaction to this type of movies in Europe. Neorealist cinema and New Wave were all against such overly romantic and simplistic movies.
What if Rebecca is Ms. Danvers throughout the film, or Joan Fontaine's character is really Rebecca from the beginning. WOW if one of these predictions are true, I'm gonna be shocked!
@sslohier No they sure din't have runny noses,but they had emotions and sometimes cryed and tissues wasn't invented yet. I had them when I was yung and the washing machine wasn't invented and it was quiet disgusting to wash them by hand and I hated it. I still have some embroydered one.It wasn't that long ago abaut in the sixties.
It turns out later she probably wanted him to kill her, because she had found out she had cancer and she had always said when he died she wanted it to be quick, not drawn out
the bit where Favell gets in the car with couple and starts saying "things are going well for you, better than expected..." -- doesn;t make much sense -- they AREN'T going well at all! We have just heard about the holes in the boat etc. In the book he coes to speak to them once there has been a verdict of suicide
Stand by your man, Give him two arms to cling to That'd respect C. Aubrey Smith didn't show up until the movie was half way over and he still got top billing P.s. Fainting was the way to say she was Pregnant back then
Well it's a bit simplistic to call him "the bad guy" in the book -- he was certainly very much provoked by Rebecca, who had all these lovers, and was taunting him that he would never be able to prove it in a divorce court because everyone thought she was a wonderful wife to him, and she then implied she was carrying a child by her cousin, and said he would inherit Manderley -- and Maxim shoots her.
@AutumnDevi No, I used to even when I was 8 when I first watched this lmaoo! And I, and I'm sure many others, still think he's rather smexy. Slimy, but hot lol.
I'd forgotten just how good this film was. The lead roles play their parts to absolute perfection.

They seem closer and much more affectionate with each other. :)))
I just love that when Laurence embrace her, he's always tenderly touches and caresses her face. It's so sweet. Sigh...
it is so romantic!! The way he holds her, touches her face so tenderly...why can't there be movies like this today....
Joan was brilliant at playing the sweet, gentle, unworldly girl. Innocent and unselfish.
My goodness, but George Sanders is sinister and gorgeous, gorgeously sinister

"You don't think I'm the big bad wolf do you?" No, I think you are Shere Kahn from the Jungle Book!
I'm sorry this is hilarious --- Questioning a madman. What next? "Let's see if Jasper will talk...come now, out with it!"
my grandma and i used to watch this when i was little... this the errol flynn version of robin hood...ah memories
lol. it is soo cute how she has to be on her tippy-toes to kiss him. lol. so cute and romantic!!:)
Me too! It's one of the most romantic scenes I've ever seen!
I love how so many people still love and comment on old classics. Yahoo for old movies
ain't gonna lie, why do the women in the black and white films have such gorgeous skin!

Great actress Joan Fontaine: when she comes down the stairs at 0:13 is completely different woman from the one of all the previous part of the movie.
Geroge Sanders : fantastic !
i love how maxim cares for her,,now i can see it..
i love this movie seen it 10x gets better with age
the book ofcourse,is perfection,olivier is pissed that vivien leigh did not get the part, and i think he is rather dull and trying but still, good movie, saved by the leading lady,and omg, the housekeeper
She's really becoming the lady of the house now... GO HER!
as far as I can remember, she did. She was faithful to him...
lol, i don`t see what is there to like, yes he is handsome but his character is just xxxxxx

I couldn't agree more they don't make men like him anymore i just think hes amazing
Awww. Poor Ben :-(
That hot kiss scene was like until 3-6 takes
What if Rebecca is Ms. Danvers throughout the film, or Joan Fontaine's character is really Rebecca from the beginning. WOW if one of these predictions are true, I'm gonna be shocked!
@gmaureen She played a similar character in Letter from an Unknown Woman, which was terribly tragic, even more so than Rebecca
Maxim is so sweet
Laurence Olivier...*swoon* oh my goodness!
What a cast........
@sslohier No they sure din't have runny noses,but they had emotions and sometimes cryed and tissues wasn't invented yet.

hahaha..i thought the same thing!
And they just hung on the man's every word as though he could reveal all answers!
It turns out later she probably wanted him to kill her, because she had found out she had cancer and she had always said when he died she wanted it to be quick, not drawn out
lol. me too!!!:)
they kissed so.....hard back then. like they were cemented together haha:)

Yep, she did, but well I better not give anything away unless you decide to read the book.
What's up with women in the 30s and 40s with those handkerchiefs? Surely the didn't all have runny noses 24/7....
wots the whisky? nice spot of highland park maybe, yum
@Massiveskinsfan93 A girl of good taste!
Mr. Freeze at 8:30!
@magpiepeck Eee! I love the dog, too!
No but he was with Rebecca, and We knoow how loyal Danvers was to her, and she might have transferred a little of that t him
@shanghaibenny2 Yes, I believe you are correct
@Trund27 I used to have the biggest crush on him when I watched this for the first time when I was about 8!!
Yeah, I also read it
@Trund27 Actually I call back my statement. I think it's just a twisted connection between them...not a sexual liason
@Trund27 Yes, very cat-like.
@Shanebabys Totally
@Trund27 Haha!
@readtoomuch Totally! Good eye
@Massiveskinsfan93 :)
