Last night I dreamt that I was at Manderlay again…

Our Classic Movie Nights series celebrates Alfred Hitchcock’s birthday by screening his only film ever to win Best Motion Picture at The Oscars–Rebecca!

A masterclass in shadowy suspense (what else did you expect?), this gothic romance cloaked in elegance, obsession, and secrets that refuse to stay buried is not just a ghost story—it’s a story about the ghosts we create, the ones we inherit, and the ones we try to escape.

Joan Fontaine stars as the shy, unnamed heroine who marries the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier), only to find herself haunted by the legacy of his late wife, Rebecca—a presence that lingers over the mansion of Manderley like perfume in a locked room. Judith Anderson is unforgettable as Mrs. Danvers, the icy housekeeper whose devotion to Rebecca tips from unsettling to unhinged.

Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!
