Rebecca-Criterion SE.

I got really lucky in finding a copy of the Criterion edition in a library. Brilliant transfer-just like my Notorious disc. Wish I could like the film as much. It's not top drawer Hitchcock canon, and even he acknowledged it as a picture that wasn't really his. It's too tied to both the novel and to Selznick's whims and demands. Hitch's real first American film will always be Foreign Correspondent.

3.5 creepy housekeeping balls out of 4 Oliviers not doing very much.
