Rebecca (1940) - Alfred Hitchcock
A beautiful film. Truly beautiful. The relationship between Laurence Olivier's character and Joan Fontaine, particularly towards the end, was perfectly done to show the tension and arguments that most relationships have: the ups and downs, and the etceteras. Hitchcock does this very well, and the fact Olivier did not actually like Fontaine comes across in a few angry scenes. When compared with the ones where they are seemingly in love, Olivier's position as one of the great actors is cemented. A good film.
