Rebecca and the 13th Academy Awards

The Best Picture breakdown by Worthy hosts, Ben Smith and Jon Roberts, takes a twisted turn into the world of Alfred Hitchcock and his 1940 classic “Rebecca”. One of the few Hitchcock films to take home an Academy Award, this Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier starring film will certainly leave you in suspense. In this episode of Worthy, Ben and Jon discuss the technical achievements of Hitchcock in “Rebecca” that became part of his signature style.

The discussion around “Rebecca” also focuses on the narrative tricks in the film, the chilling performance of Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers and the subtext of the screenplay that reveals much more about the characters than what is said on screen. Ben and Jon also discuss the 13th Academy Awards and the history of Hitchcock at the Oscars.
