Rebecca

“We have here something that really scared me as a child and, I guess, still does now. I love Joan Fontaine. This is Rebecca by Hitchcock. I started watching Hitchcock when I was a child, and I’ve always been really mesmerized by his psychology. It’s very, very strong, very erotic. And it’s actually weird as a kid that I was so into it.”

“These I'm taking for Dad, Notorious and Rebecca. My dad raised me on Hitchcock. This always hits and I'm going to bring it right to him.”

“I was really anxious to see Rebecca. I had seen all of Hitchcock's films in the 50s and 60s but this film came out a little earlier and I hadn't seen it. I found the most unusual way to watch Rebecca: a friend of mine, an animator, literally had a 35 millimeter projector in his apartment. He had a print of Rebecca and I was able to see this masterpiece in his home. Never thought I would view the film in that manner, but great film.”

“I wanted to be Alfred Hitchcock, and Vertigo is a really favorite film, and I’ve seen probably every single one of his films... And I recently had an opportunity to see Rebecca and I think Joan Fontaine, there with Laurence Olivier, should be completely overshadowed, and she holds a kind of sensitivity and fragility in her Performance. I’m really going with Rebecca as a really wonderful Hitchcock film, and obviously one of the great masters.”
