One of the reasons that Alfred Hitchcockis often considered to be one of the single greatest filmmakers of all time is the sheer diversity within his filmography. While Hitchcock is often referred to as the “Master of Suspense” because of his expertise in making thrillers, he also dedicated much of his career to crafting different types of films, including romantic dramas. No film personified this better than Hitchcock’s 1940 adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s classic gothic romance novel Rebecca, which became the first and only one of his films to take home the Academy Award for Best Picture. Although it is not the only interpretation of the source material, Hitchcock’s version of Rebecca bestcaptures the romantic tension and intrigue that makes this dark story so affecting.
