More Critical Analysis on the film, 'Rebecca'

HUMANS ARE OFTEN STRANGE and difficult to comprehend.  The characters in the odd Hitchcock film, 'Rebecca' are puzzling.  The irascible absurdity of emotional dynamics are played like a crafty shell game by the one known as 'Hitch.' The main story line in this tale involves a young female who marries a wealthy widower and the lo and behold the careening memory of the guy's first wife rears its ugly head and abruptly the rude young woman has many, many woes.  The memory of the other woman runs berserk in the minds of both the rather worn down husband and also the minds and souls of the servants.  Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier come across with clever, coy acting performances in this little bit of cinematic oddity.  The snarling undertone of rigid emotionalism is brittle and very engaging in this movie just like in many other Hitchcock works.
