'Rebecca' starts with the voice of a female saying ''Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.'' This is effective as it gets staight into the story and makes the viewer wonder what she is talking about from the very beggining so keeps them watching.
Despite the story takes place in England, and most of the actors are British, the movie was filmed entirely in California.
'Rebecca' is a gothic romance, and can be reffered to as a story like Cinderella gone wrong. Gothic romances usually have big houses and feature a tragic ending.

In this film feelings that Hitchcock wanted the viewer to feel are communicated through images.
For example he could place objects further appart to represtent a larger distance.
