Rebecca Visits the Roe!

Presented by the Roe Valley Community Film Society, the 1940 masterpiece was Alfred Hitchcock’s first American film and stars Laurence Olivier as Maxim de Winter who brings his young, naive wife, played by Joan Fontaine, home to Cornwall to start their married life together.

The whirlwind romance is quickly threatened when a haunting battle of wits begins between Mrs De Winter and the demonic housekeeper Mrs Danvers, played unforgettably by Judith Anderson.

Hitchcock portrays Rebecca, the first Mrs De Winter, as continuing to haunt Manderley, the country estate which she governed, and the Gothic atmosphere is steadily built to a dramatic crescendo involving romance and murder.

Rebecca won two Academy Awards in the year of its release, for Best Picture and Best Cinematography and it’s not hard to see why. If you have not managed to enjoy this superb film yet, then now’s your chance to see it on the big screen in Limavady!

Admission is £4 to non-members of the film society and the film will be introduced by a member of the Film Society. For further information, visit www.roevalleyarts.com
