Rebecca (1940)
Mrs. Edythe Van Hopper, respectable veuve déjà âgée, accompagnée de sa jeune demoiselle de compagnie, est en villégiature à Monte-Carlo dans l'hôtel Côte-d'Azur, lorsque leur chemin croise celui de Maxim de Winter, riche veuf, qui n'a aucun mal à séduire la jeune fille et, dans la foulée, à l'épouser et l'emmener dans sa demeure ancestrale de Manderley, quelque part sur la côte sud-est de l'Angleterre. Les premiers contacts avec le personnel du château, régenté par la peu amène gouvernante Mrs. Danvers, sont glaciaux. Cette dernière, en effet, attachée depuis toujours au service de la précédente Mrs. de Winter, Rebecca, et lui vouant une passion sans limite, même à titre posthume, n'accepte pas l'intrusion de l'« usurpatrice ». Le souvenir de l'épouse disparue et vénérée continue de hanter le château sombre.
