OCTAGON
Against a background of mystery and eeriness David 0. Selznick’s production of ‘Rebecca,’ best-selling novel by Daphne du Manner, heads the programme at the Octagon. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, ‘ Rebecca ’ has Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine in the starring roles, while the feature supporting cast includes Judith Anderson, George Sanders, Nigel Bruce, C. Aubrey Smith, Reginald Denny, and Florence Bates. The story of ‘ Rebecca ’ concerns a young and unsophisticated girl who becomes the bride of the wealthy and socially prominent Maxim de Winter. When they return to live on his vast Tudor estate, Manderley, the second wife learns to her horror that her life is being dominated by the past of Rebecca, Maxim’s first wife.
