Summary

Rebecca stars Laurence Olivier as Maxim de Winter, Joan Fontaine as his second wife, and Judith Anderson as his late-wife's servant Mrs. Danvers. The film is a gothic tale about the lingering memory of the title character, which still controls her husband, his new bride, and the housekeeper of their estate, Manderley, long after her death. (The plot of the novel Rebecca is largely unchanged in the film.)

In Du Maurier's work, the second wife, who narrated the tale, was never identified by name. This central character, played by Fontaine, remains unnamed in the film as well, a difficult feat for the screenwriters.
