In Rebecca, the story parallels Jane Eyre a bit too closely and the story's pace sags suddenly in the second hour. Still, one can easily see Hitchcock's interest in spookiness beginning to flower as he places Mrs. DeWinter (Fontaine) in rooms that appear to diminish her to frightening degrees. Rating: A–
