I love the music that begins to play at 0:12, it really marks the climax of the scene. Also love how she runs to hug him at 3:07. All of of their hugs are so sweet, the ones at 4:20 and 4:33-35 are my favorites, they look so cute in those moments... I simply love that scene.
in the book.... the fancy dress ball was amazingly painful to witness and you were so SAD for her. .....................................She sure did look beautiful in that dress though.
@hiatusinc I like her as well, her obsession is what makes her such an enjoyable character. She is the character you love to hate like cruella deville.
I love the part when she finally tripps out .. 0.05 "look you can see my hand through it.."... the room was just about the last straw to crush her insecurities
Shes a shy, unsophisticated girl in surroundings unusual to her. So i guess the idea of firing staff didn't occur to her...especially since she used to be the staff.
Eyre left Rochester because he already had a wife and she had character and principles. Her thinking is, "How long until he gets tired of me as well?" He wants him to truly value her and prove herself in the world. She was very wise, though she almost lost him.
Beautiful moment-- 8:30 In her Fancy Dress, walks down the stairs in eager anticipation of the surprise she is about to deliver. You can even see it on her face. In the book, at this moment, she had a member of the band announce her presence as "Ms. Caroline DeWinter!" -- also-- she changed into a blue dress and stayed the whole night at the ball.. miserable and unspoken to maxim. It was to be the happiest night, their official engagement party. Quickly turned into misery.
it was a convention of the period in which the book is set, along with the other thing which you would know if you had watched the whole film or read the book
Hey Sara! Not sure if u'll even see this comment but I hope so :) I hope you and the little eskimo are comfortable there, watching Rebecca? I miss you. You're the sweetest girl alive :)
There is a strong suggestion in the book that Danvers was in love with Rebecca, and you can see it here. I think Rebecca was just using Danvers the way she did everyone else, and Danvers was in denial about it.
"Listen to it. Listen to the sea." "Yeah. That's pretty neat." "So soothing. Listen." "Ok, well, thanks for showing me arou--" "Listen to it. Stay and listen. You look tired. So soothing." "Can you maybe take a step or two back so that our eyeballs aren't touching?" "I keep Mrs. DeWinter's underwear right over here. I like to touch it." "O...kay..." "Feel it on your skin." "I have to go." "So soft..." "Real good then. Okay. Carry on with your... duties... Thank--" "Spank me." "G'bye."
@AlliyaandRaza It doesn't say in the book that she is plain-looking, but rather that she thinks she is plain. That is quite different. It is more that she is modest and not flashy in her beauty like Rebecca was. She is supposed to be a pretty, young girl - exactly like Joan Fontaine!
There's so much excess in this room. But i like it all the same. Wish i had that dresser for my clothes. This poor woman - living in a house that can't move into the future.
In the book the "I am Mrs De Winter now" assetiveness comes after she is sure Max never loved Rebecca and does love her. I don't think it works so well the way they have done it here - I mean, there's no real reason for her to have suddenly gained confidence
@TheSkylur44true, vivien leigh is striking. but good thing they didnt choose her, i prefer joan fontaine, more innocent, purely beautiful. perfect for the role!
@nineczek Mrs deW is supposed to be plain-looking, even homely. Fontaine wasn't, and Leigh certainly not. In the '40's an actress would never wear makeup that made her look homely. We're more naturalistic now.
i don't know about that... remember she had to work for the mean lady that hired her as a paid companion in the begining of the story. THAT woman had to pay someone to put up with her -lol! so she had it up to her neck with all these mrs. danvers-freaks in her life. so yea she decided to take control. one doesnt always need a man's love to give one confidence. we as humans can get strength from an overall life experience.
Just because youre wrong about something doesnt mean you have to make up excuses. It certainly does make a difference, because names are names and they have a certain spelling. You dont need my corrections you say, but you should accept them because next time you make some other mistake commenting on a video it might be your undoing and youll look a fool to everyone who reads your comment.
Actually, it is spelled that way. If you would read the book, youd see its spelled Danny. And dont tell me Thats just in the book because its spelled the same in the movie script too. I enjoy my petty corrections? Please tell me what other things I have corrected you in? And its not my fault if Im right. Its obvious that people like you cant take it well when they are wrong. Pity isnt it?
omg...the housekeeper is so obsessed with the first wife, it's too creepy. She's like admiring all her stuff and touching it. ALSO...why is everything monogrammed?? The husband should of gotten rid of it all! geezzz poor girl. Everything's just too weird for her.
I think he's very much learning just like her and doesn't know how to react. His first wife turned out to be a manipulative evil witch that very much scarred him. Maxim is just as inexperienced in being genuinely loved as she is.
"I am Mrs De Winter now". Like a boss.
LISTEN TO THE SEA....SO SOOTHING
CREEEEPYYY 0.0
Mrs Danvers is obsessed and insane..but terrific acting..she scares you like hell
Mrs Danvers is my favourite- true brilliance :)
Susan portrays Mrs Danvers in the musical like no other will do, ever!
I love the music that begins to play at 0:12, it really marks the climax of the scene. Also love how she runs to hug him at 3:07. All of of their hugs are so sweet, the ones at 4:20 and 4:33-35 are my favorites, they look so cute in those moments... I simply love that scene.
Ahhh Mrs. Danvers is so creepy! I LOVE it! :D
am I the only one who actually likes Mrs Danvers? She may be mad, but she does it so ... elegantly.
The book was great. Read it several times, but somebody borrowed and did not return it.
in the book.... the fancy dress ball was amazingly painful to witness and you were so SAD for her. .....................................She sure did look beautiful in that dress though.
i cant hardly watch her go down in her costume! i feel for her!
@thighmister
You have me practically on the floor with this!!
Love the music cue after "I am Mrs. DeWinter now." Says: take that, bitch!
"_I_ am Mrs. De Winter now!" One of the most satisfying lines in movie history.
wonderful
Mrs. Davers looked proud of her afterwards.
The power of Reby`s knickers...:P
I love the charakter of Mrs Danvers xD Don`t know why maybe because of the Rebecca Musical but I think Mrs. Danvers is the best charakter in Rebecca
haha i love how Beatrice refers to Mrs. De Winter as "the child"
Aww, the maid helping her with her dress is so sweet.
@hiatusinc I like her as well, her obsession is what makes her such an enjoyable character. She is the character you love to hate like cruella deville.

Its even better because Danvers doesn't blink!
I think Vivien Leigh actually did a screen test for the part, I saw it here on youtube a while ago.
You're right: they did share a room. I should've clarified--I was referring to the fact that they had separate beds in the book.
YES ! Me too !!!

@hiatusinc She's an excellent foil. She's an asset to the movie.
Did she win a best supporting actress award?
If she didn't, she should have.
it was a convention of the period in which the book is set, along with the other thing which you would know if you had watched the whole film or read the book
You're absolutely right. Her suddenly growing a backbone at this point seemed completely inappropriate.
I know! it makes me frustrated that she gets creep out whenever she is with her and she still believe what the servant tells her.
She looks like Scarlett O'Hara in that dress and hat!
I've been thinking
Well what do you want to do that for... lol how can his treating her like a kid be so darn cute?
Hey Sara! Not sure if u'll even see this comment but I hope so :) I hope you and the little eskimo are comfortable there, watching Rebecca? I miss you. You're the sweetest girl alive :)
mrs. danver is obessed! holy smokes...
I agree with you! I think we're the only ones who like her XD

"I'm Mrs DeWinters now"!
"Listen to it. Listen to the sea."
"Yeah. That's pretty neat."
"So soothing. Listen."
"Ok, well, thanks for showing me arou--"
"Listen to it. Stay and listen. You look tired. So soothing."

This would have been better if we saw glimpses of what Rebecca looked like; as a ghost or something, and maybe haunted their home! : )
that is so true, and i love how Denvers looks like she's gonna have a nervous breakdown ; )
I don't understand these people; if you don't enjoy then why watch it in the first place then?
Joan Fontaine is an absolutely beautiful woman.
@Deanybob101 I know! I had such an awful feeling as soon as Mrs. Danvers suggested the idea
@AlliyaandRaza It doesn't say in the book that she is plain-looking, but rather that she thinks she is plain. That is quite different. It is more that she is modest and not flashy in her beauty like Rebecca was. She is supposed to be a pretty, young girl - exactly like Joan Fontaine!
9:34 'Ooh, bitch, I'm gonna get you for that'
N A S T Y W O M A N
@ChildOfTheFlower You got that right.
@sulivel if you read the book, she is killed, but not by Mrs Danvers
There's so much excess in this room. But i like it all the same. Wish i had that dresser for my clothes.
This poor woman - living in a house that can't move into the future.
No, it wasn't just Hollywood. It's that way in the book, too.
thank god she got rid of all her stuff! next should be the maid!
Thanks =]
That Danvers lady makes this to ghost movie
In the book the "I am Mrs De Winter now" assetiveness comes after she is sure Max never loved Rebecca and does love her. I don't think it works so well the way they have done it here - I mean, there's no real reason for her to have suddenly gained confidence
this girl needs to hold herself together!
I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE MAXIMEEEE
Mrs. Danvers....who the hell married her!?
@TheSkylur44 thanks think i'll search for that, i'm starting to like how oliver speak!
2:37-2:40 about bloody time
am i the only one who thinks she have been better off in the suit of armour?
exactly what i thought when i read the book
@LeBookworm ooohhh.i see! thanks.
Danvers = PSYCHO
@TheSkylur44true, vivien leigh is striking. but good thing they didnt choose her, i prefer joan fontaine, more innocent, purely beautiful. perfect for the role!
I was cringing so hard when she came down the stairs....
Yeah she sounds slightly evil. I am Mrs de Winter now!! mwha ha ha...
i think that mrs danvers was gay and loved rebecca. anybody else thnk that?
No, there were only Frank Crawley, Maxim, Beatrice and Giles
my god. she is so freakin naive! Put yourself together, girl!!!
OLD HOLLYWOOD
I used to work with the male version of Mrs. Danvers :(
@9876543217303 She was mostly a stage actress, one of the best in her time.
I'm laughing so hard at your comment, I have tears
I doubt Rebecca ever felt that way towards Mrs. Danvers. pretty sure that was one-sided.
not in the book. mrs danvers doesnt die.
@nineczek Mrs deW is supposed to be plain-looking, even homely. Fontaine wasn't, and Leigh certainly not. In the '40's an actress would never wear makeup that made her look homely. We're more naturalistic now.

Danvers was all getting up close and personal with Carla,or whatever her name was, when she was crying.
That looks sorta weird...
Mrs Danvers is a little reminiscent of Prof Severus Snape, no?
Danvers is one strange wackadoodle.
@luname82 back then...wealthy couples slept in separate rooms unless they were going to have sex...
who is Carla?
That poor girl needs someone to stick up for her. Maxim sure fails in that regard. Maybe she could get a really big dog.
DOES THIS DRESS REMIND ANYONE OF THE ONE JOAN FONTAINES CHARACTER WORE IN SUSPICION
What does he mean by and how?
didnt the scene where everyone stares have like 100 people in the book??
Actually, it's "Danny". But it's a cute kinda deranged, don't you think so?
lol, i was kidding about them meeting in a lesbian bar in 1932. i don't know how they met. never read the book either.
omg...the housekeeper is so obsessed with the first wife, it's too creepy. She's like admiring all her stuff and touching it. ALSO...why is everything monogrammed?? The husband should of gotten rid of it all! geezzz poor girl. Everything's just too weird for her.
Are you being sarcastic or sincere? I rather can't tell.
I hope she's chasing ms. Danvers in the room to smack her around for tricking her.. Ugh!!
The "housekeeper" not maid :)
I. WANT. MAX. HAR. HARRR.
He really is a pig, note how he doesn't say, you could never embaress me. He more then Danvers made her feel unworthy.
I think he's very much learning just like her and doesn't know how to react. His first wife turned out to be a manipulative evil witch that very much scarred him. Maxim is just as inexperienced in being genuinely loved as she is.
-_-
Mrs. de Winter II
@DrSoloDolo It's people like you that they make movies like I Hate Valentine's Day for.
