Evaluation: How charming can the story be? The whole film is well-conceived, and an unexpected and reasonable thing is accomplished under a tight rhythm; how much power can thoughts have? The logical deduction confuses the hero and heroine, and also makes the audience tug at the heart from beginning to end. The fat old man in England has done these two things to the extreme. It can only be said that he even included the masses in his own movies. Here, he can see everyone, and we are just "helpless" props.
Recommended point: The fat old man's storytelling skills and his play control over people's psychology.

Rebecca quotes

  • Maxim de Winter: [after he has asked her to marry him] My suggestion doesn't seem to have gone at all well, i'm sorry.

    The Second Mrs. de Winter: Oh, but you don't understand! It's that I... well I'm not the sort of person men marry.

  • Mrs. de Winter: I wish I were a woman of 36, dressed in black satin with a string of pearls!
