Rebecca

starring

LAURENCE OLIVIER · JOAN FONTAINE

Directed by ALFRED HITCHCOCK

Produced By DAVID O. SELZNICK who made "OONS WITH THE WIND" RELEASED THRU UNITED ARTISTS,

SYNOPSIS: When I first met Max de Winter, he was brooding bitterly over the death of his beautiful wife, Rebecca, in a sailing ac- cident; my own ahymess and nalvete-and my unhidden love for kim ----made him gay and happy, He asked me to marry him, and we went to Manderley, his famous estate. Everything about the great house bore Rebecca's influence, and Alra Danvers, the house-keeper, seemed parti- cularly to resent my taking Rebecca's place as the mistress of Mander- ley. Surprisingly, she suggested a costume for me, for the Manderley Masquerade Ball; but when I appeared in it, Max furiously sent me upstairs to change. Mrs Danvers waited there, smiling, to tell me it was the same costume Rebecca had worn - Suddenly there was commotion outside; a ship had gone ashore, and a diver had discovered Rebecca's sailing boat.

Chapter Five

-

I stumbled across the beach, looking for Maxim. I found him, in Rebecca's cottage.

When I saw him, he was stand- ing near the strangely blazing fire- place, dishevelled, his evening clothes of the night before stained with sea water. Hls face seemed blank, yet ravaged with the look of a man who could not bear to sec more. "Maxim." I called, "Maxim -you haven't had any sleep." He turned to me, and with a strange tenseness drew me close."

"You've forgiven me, haven't you?" I said.

"Forgive you? What have I gol to forgive you for?"

"For last night-ny stupidity about the eastume."

_____"Oh,_that! I was angry with you.........

wasn't 1?”

"Yes," I whispered. "Oh, Maxim, can't we start all over again?" I burst out. "I don't ask that you love me...I won't ask Impossible things. I'll be your friend and companion... I'll be happy with that."

He took my face in his hands. "How much do you love me?" he asked, his volee tortured by some- thing I did not know.

"Maxim, must I tell you...?" "I'm afrakt it's too late, my dar- ling..." he said slowly. "It's all over now. The thing's happened the thing I've dreaded."

"Maxim, what are you trying to tell me?"

"Rebecca has won."

I could only think of his love for her, of how I had lost.

"Her shadow has been between us all the time," he went on. "She knew that this would hap- pen."

"What are you saying?" "They sent a diver down. found another bont"

"I know. Frank told me.

Re-

Becca's bont...'

"The diver made another dis- covery. He broke one of the ports and looked in. There was a body in there Rebecca's."

"No, no!" I sercamned.. "The woman that was washed up at Edgecombe-that wasn't Re- becca, It was the body of some unknown woman. I identified .il, but I knew it was not Rebeccn. I was all a le. I knew where Re- becca's body was Lying on the cabin floor, on the bottom of the sea

"How did you know, Maxim?" He turned to face me. "Because

I put it there" He stepped nesrer me. "Will you look into nty eyes and tell me that you love me now?" he sald, bitterly, "You sce-it's too late."

I could not speak, with the hor ror, the stunning surprise of what he had said. And then I could not realst throwing my arms around him.

"It's not too Intel" I said des- perately. "You're not to say flint! love you more than anything in the world ... please, Maxim, kiss mo, please. We've got to bo what we've never been-together,'éloset.

How could we be close when I knew you were always thinking of Rebecca? How could you ask me to love you when I knew you loved Rebecca still?"

"You thought I loved Rebecca? You thought that? I hated her."

i could not believe my ears- Then he poured out what was in him. He paced up and down, speaking quietly, reflectively.

"They told me I was the luckiest man on earth when I married her ...she was so lovely, so ReCOM- I believed pilshed, so amusing. her, completely but I never hand a moment's happiness with her.... She was incapable of love, or ten- derness, or decency, I found out about her four days after we were married.

She stood there on

mez moved towards me, laughing. Then suddenly she stumbled and fell. When I looked down, she was ly- ing on the flour. She had struck her head on plece of ship's tackle, I remember wondering why she was still smiling,..And then I realled she was dead."

"But you didn't kill her... It was an accident."

He went on, recounting how ho had put her into the cabin of her boat, sailed a safe distance from shore, opened the sea cocks and sunk the boat. "Maxim," I asked, does anyone know of this?"

"No one except you and me." Frantically, I began to tell him what we must do, that we must say he made a mistake in identi- fying the body, that Rebecca was dead, and could not bear witness, He was not listening.

"I told you once that I'd done u very selfish thing in marrying you,” ho said, holding my arms very tightly. "You can understand now what I meant. I've loved you, my darling I shall always love you— but I've known all along that Ré- becca would win in the end!"

"No! No!" I exclaimed, I clung to him. "She hasn't woni What- ever happens now she hasn't won."

He spoke the last con- temptuously, searching my face for Lellet.

"I kept the bargain—and so did she apparently. But then she be gan to grow careless. · She took a flat in London ... began bringing her friends down there. There was a cousin of hers-Favell."

"I know him," I sald, “He came here the day you went to London."

"Why didn't you tell me?" "I didn't like to. I thought it would remind you of-Rebecca,”

"All right," he said. "I don't mind this whole thing-except for you. can't forget what it's done to you. I've been thinking of nothing else since it happened..." He lifted my chin, and looked at me intently. "It' gone forever,.. ha

At the inquest, Mr Tabb, the local boat-builder, pointed out that the sea cocks had been opened, and that this could not have been on accident. The coroner.called Max- im to the stand.

"You must understand," he said, "that this new ovidence raises the -possibility that Mes de Winter may have taken her own life. Painful as it may be, I must nak you a very personal question. Were relations between you and the late Mra de Winter perfectly happy?'

The words began to buzz in my dark. The courtroom, the myrlad of shapes, whirled wildly, I faint- od.
