A person who isn't there will be coming in between their relationship. This will torture her. But, why was her husband so obsessed with his first wife? What was she like? The answers are really not something anyone would expect. This is the premise of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca". This movie is one of the best thrillers that out there.

This movie seems to play out like a domestic drama soon turns into a intense thriller very unexpectedly. An abandoned boat comes to the shore of the river that runs near Max's Mansion. Inside the boat there will be something that turns the life of Max and Rebecca around and will start an adventure for the couples. What is inside the boat? Why don't you watch the movie and find out.
The movie is legendary. The movie also inspired the phrase "The Rebecca Case", in crime investigation when ever a case is impossible to solve they are called The Rebecca Case. The film is one of the best works of Alfred Hitchcock and has won the Academy Awards for The Best Picture.
One of my favorite scenes in this movie is when Max will be revealing the reality of Rebecca to Joan, and while he is telling it the camera moves as if it is following the movements of an invisible Rebecca. This will make the audience imagine what kind of a person Rebecca really was.
