    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Per Sir Alfred Hitchcock's instructions, Dame Judith Anderson rarely blinks her eyes while playing Mrs. Danvers.
    • Goofs
      The large map on the courtroom wall is a map of the Americas. It is grossly implausible that such a map would be on the wall of an English courtroom.
    • Quotes
      • [the new Mrs. de Winter wants to dispose of Rebecca's letters]
      • The Second Mrs. de Winter: I want you to get rid of all these things.
      • Mrs. Danvers: But these are Mrs. de Winter's things.
      • The Second Mrs. de Winter: *I* am Mrs. de Winter now!
    • Crazy credits
      The original 1940 credits read "Selznick International presents its picturization of Daphne Du Maurier's 'Rebecca'". The credits on the re-issue version read "The Selznick Studio presents its production of Daphne Du Maurier's 'Rebecca'".
    • Alternate versions
      The opening credits were re-done (with different font) for the 1950's re-release of the movie. It is these credits that have turned up on all telecasts of the film (even as recently as 2013) and all previous video releases. The Criterion release (which is now only available through outlet stores) restores all of the credits to their original form.
