REBECCA ORIGINAL BELGIUM MOVIE POSTER. Rebecca (United Artists, R-1950s). Belgian (14" X 22"). For his first picture made in the U.S., Alfred Hitchcock made a haunting directorial debut with this adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's novel. The British director already had a reputation for making suspenseful pictures, so he was the logical choice for producer David O. Selznick. A double Oscar winner, this is one of Hitchcock's most durable films. This beautiful post-war Belgian poster features both the original art in the background and the brilliantly colored portraiture the Belgians are noted for. Plot In Monte Carlo, Max de Winter (Laurence Olivier ) stops to speak to Mrs. Edythe Van Hopper (Florence Bates ) only after recognizing her companion (Joan Fontaine ), the girl he had encountered earlier. Duration: 2 minutes and 23 seconds. 2:23 Trailer for Rebecca
Maxim de Winter stands at a cliff edge, seemingly contemplating jumping. A young woman shouts at him to stop him in his tracks, but he curtly asks her to walk on.
Later, at Monte Carlo on the French Riviera , the same young woman is staying with her pompous old traveling companion, Mrs. Van Hopper. She again encounters the aristocratic widower Maxim de Winter, looking much more debonair. They are attracted to each other, and although Van Hopper tells her he is still obsessed with his dead wife, Rebecca, who we are told drowned in the sea near Manderley, she soon becomes the second Mrs. de Winter.
