Critical Essay by Eric Rohmer and Claude Chabrol
2,222 words, approx. 7 pages
With Rebecca, the "Hitchcock touch," which has previously been merely a distinguishing feature, becomes a vision of the world. Spontaneity submits to a system.

But in the motion picture version all this is brushed aside by the understanding and literary style of a greater craftsman than Miss du Maurier. Alfred Hitchcock has made of "Rebecca" one of those perfect things—one of those masterpieces that we remember, like his other perfect cinema entertainments "The Thirty-nine Steps" an...
