1. Introduction
1.1Survey of Film Rebecca
Rebecca is a film produced by Selznick in 1940. It was adapted from a best-selling mystery novel Rebecca written by a contemporary woman writer Daphne du Maurier. At the same time, Rebecca is also the most typical and representative one of Alfred Hitchcock’s early films and it brought a brighter future for Hitchcock's works. The atmosphere in the film is strangely fascinating and the skill of suspense is in good use for a psychological drama. In this film Hitchcock created a dark and depressing image of Manderley Manor: desolate buildings like ruins of castles, a dog in the open hall and the housekeeper haunting ghostly. All have become eternal memory in the film history.
