Rebecca


I watched Hitchcock's "Rebecca" last night; comically, classically, magnificently dramatic. Everyone, save Joan Fontaine, acts with a route woodenness that evokes the comic antics of Will Ferrell. The most dramatic scenes rival a good spanish soap. Yet, melodrama aside, it's so refreshing: Hitchcock could captivate the audience for 130 plus minutes sans gratuitous violence, sex and without the distraction of highly choreographed action scenes. Classic, suspenseful and fun eye-candy!
