Presenting the Transcription Feature 202: REBECCA
Wednesday, 31 December, 2025
I like to start off the new year with these adaptations by "The Lux Radio Theater." We're going to get a little spooky this year. "Rebecca" was first a great psychological thriller novel by Daphne de Maurier in 1938, then a great film directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940, and eventually this great, though a little shorter, radio adaptation for "Lux." Though the Hitchcock film is visually stunning – it won two Oscars, one for Best Picture and another for Best Cinematography – this adaptation has the benefit of two of the best actors in Hollywood – actually in England, with Sir Laurence Olivier reprising his role as Maxim de Winter from the film and his real-life wife, Vivian Leigh, as the otherwise un-named new Mrs. de Winter.
