“REBECCA”
Based on the populer best-selling Daphne du Maurier novel, David O. Selznick’s production of “Rebecca,” through United Artists release, was filmed with a cast whose list of stars reads like a screen Blue Book. Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine appear in the principal starring roles, while the featured cast includes Reginald Denny. Judith Anderson, George Sanders, C. Aubrey Smith, Gladys Cooper, Florence Bates and Nigel Bruce. Alfred Hitchcock, who previously staged such successes as “The Lady Vanishes” and “The 39 Steps.” directed “Rebecca” from the screenplay written by Robert E. Sherwood and Joan Harrison. Under the direction of Lyle Wheeler, art director at Selznick International, forty different sets representing the picturesque backgrounds of the story were constructed for the film. Among the unusual settings are London streets, old taverns, a coroner’s office and a gloomy boathouse facing a windswept bay on the coast of Cornwall. it OTmiliTlm ulfn mmi nih 11 hi n m 111 in u
