Selznik was the producer, the same of Gone With The Wind, and he was famous for the tight creative control he had on his movies so he should be credited as much as the director. No sense in saying people shouldn’t remake “classics”. Shakespeare’s plays get new stage adaptations all the time and some are truly brilliant. No reason filmmakers shouldn’t try and do remakes.

He was a master of creating an almost subtle suspense that could literally bring you to the edge of your seat and make your heart pound. Between meticulous casting and scene setups which seem to capture the vision of the story author he did create incredible masterpieces. He was not always successful but with Rebecca he did an incredible job. As mentioned in another response Selznik ( who is also no longer with us) also deserves some credit. We have some incredibly talented directors today like Speilberg in his presentation of Schindlers List who do very well taking on new projects and creating new masterpieces.

    5:11 1940 superb masterpiece of cinematography, costume/dress, actress and her behaviour She is clearly THE focus of attention with magnificent dress & hat, and her face and her smile and direction of her attention towards us, I can't put it in words succinctly. Absolutely magnificent sight, and focus on her worthy dress and her amazing joy, and her attention towards us, interaction with us, no competition for our eyes, and no wondering about anything at all, just pure natural effortless genuine magnificence. 1997 gulp. ahem. camera seems not level, actress kind of looks for the handrail, doesn't care to look towards us, not overjoyed and proud of her dress (which is drab) or happy to show it off for us, hat is just a tupid hat, doesn't frame her face, and most strikingly, everything around her draws attention away from her, we're too busy eyeing the fancy ornate gold picture frames, the ornate spindles and the rollercoaster handrail, and why is that plain white barn door behind her looking like a white domino that is about to fall on her, and that picture frame on the right looks like it is falling already from the top, and we wonder what is her left hand holding, if anything. Is it Adams Family Letisha? Cinematography disaster. She's not the focus and it seems if we try, why bother? 6:14 Similar for this point in the movie. Look at the difference. 1940 we see live humans interacting and affected by what the other says or is about to say, and we see the people, and no lame wonders like 1997, In 1997, why the hekk are we faced with the back/headboard of a chair, and the back of someone's head one of the main actors in that scene, ... 6:26 Just look at the difference! 1940 absolutely radiantly alive facial/body-language, radiant emotion, 1991, comatose , and again our eyes are easily distracted by more skin to look at below the clavicle, and by the variety of geometric angles and shapes around her. She's pretty, yes, but unlively, unemotional, disinterested, and our eyes are distracted by the geometry instead of focusing on her and what her thoughts & feelings are at the moment (looks like she doesn't have any at that point).

    Ok, I may sound a little nuts here, but after watching the 2020 Rebecca (twice) and just finished reading the book again for perhaps the 30th time (i'm 67) I just completed a spreadsheet of the 4 Rebecca's I've seen, the 1940, 1979, 1997 and 2020. Hitchcock wins the day!!! The only great part in the 2020 version is the incredible house and cottage/seaside. I wish those has been available for Hitchcock. I just couldn't put my finger on why the others missed the mark - until I found about 20 stills of Joan Fontaine's face from the original. Where the other leading ladies have 2 or 3 expressions, her expressions are remarkable! Such timidity, fear, cowardice, love and in the end bravery are all evident on her face. Although I have always loved Rebecca, now I know why. I know that even after they had begun filming Olivier was still trying to get her replaced with his wife Vivien Leigh...which added to Joan's insecurity as she worked on the film. Hitchcock also did visual tricks like placing the door knobs really high to make her appear smaller. When I first read the book in my 20's and being from the rural Midwest, I could not properly envision the dictates of running a house at that level of British aristocracy, but Downton Abbey and Upstairs Downstairs have given the American audience the proper view of the magnitude of forces working against her in the house, much less having to "follow" the seemingly "perfect, beautiful, brilliant" Rebecca. As I watch Hitchcock's Rebecca, I feel every dig, demeaning, cruel word that is either directed to her as well as implied. It's Joan's acting and DuMaurier's fantastic writing that captured that. There is a still of the 2020 movie when Mrs Danvers is showing the new Mrs DeWinter Manderly when she first arrives. Kristin Scott Thomas as Mrs Danvers stays in character (like she could pull heads off baby chicks) but Lily James is smiling (like oh there's a camera, time to smile). Unbelievable!!! I won't comment on the actress in this 1997 version, as her lack of acting speaks for itself. Thank you Matt Skuta for you hard work in creating this - great job!!

    Michele Wise While I agree with everything you say about Fontaine, I have to say that most of the credit should go to Hitchcock, he coaxed amazing performances out of his actors, and it is his direction and camera shots etc that provide so much that is great in the film. For instance if we compare the scenes where Rebecca breaks the ornament, and then has to confess to it, in the Hitchcock version we totally feel Fontaine’s anxiety and mortification, the dynamics within that scene are incredible, but in the new version there is no tension in the scene, it serves merely as a reason for Max to be cross with her.

    None of the adaptations of _Rebecca_ have been entirely satisfactory. I wonder if there's a certain amount of sexism when women's literature is adapted for the screen. All women's literature is treated as romantic. _Rebecca_ is in fact a gothic thriller bordering on supernatural horror (du Maurier was strongly influenced by the gothic literature of Poe and Radcliffe.) Hitchcock's version came the closest, but had to be toned down to appease the 1940s censors. _Rebecca_ should be filmed with all the menace and horror of _The Omen_ and _The Shining._ Instead, because she's a woman, du Maurier's work is treated as Mills & Boon.

She was too daring, too passionate (dating a strange man for 3 days and they already kissed and had sex). The ending makes me feel she had become a complete strange character. Maxim is pushing back in to the cells to make her the only hero trying to save her poor man from the death sentence. Non sense. It's not women enpowerment, it's all toxic feminism they try to put into every single film nowadays.
