Another review of a classic movie by yours truly, another instance of me finally getting to watch a widely acclaimed actor I've somehow never seen in a movie before! This time around, it's Laurence Olivier and my introductory foray into Olivier's work as a performer came via his work in one of the two lead roles of
Rebecca, Alfred Hitchcock's lone directorial effort to score a Best Picture Oscar. Like Steven Spielberg, it's puzzling to contemplate how Hitchcock managed to direct only one Best Picture winner given his illustrious career as a filmmaker, but at least a darn good movie like
Rebecca managed to take home such a prestigious award.
