Laid in is an 8 x 10 inch film still of Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine as Mr. and Mrs. Maxim de Winter. This souvenir script was issued by Selznick as part of the 25th anniversary of the release of the film. Based on the 1938 novel by Daphne du Maurier. Housed in a custom blue cloth, quarter black leather clamshell box, with spine label, titles in gilt. Alfred Hitchcock's first American project, the elegant, dreamlike adaptation of Du Maurier's novel,, about a young woman who hurriedly marries a mysterious, aristocratic widower and must contend with the spectral influence of the former mistress of the house, the eponymous Rebecca. The film was the start of Hitchcock's work in Hollywood under contract with producer David O. Selznick, a collaboration which produced six films in total, including "Spellbound" (1945), "The Paradine Case" (1947), and "Under Capricorn" (1949). Although Selznick initially argued for "Rebecca" to remain fully faithful to the plot of the novel, the Production Code Administration forbade murder to go unpunished, and as a result the film's ending differed from du Maurier's--a change which purportedly angered Selznick so strongly that he considered releasing the film without code approval. Upon its release, the film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, winning two for Best Picture and Best Cinematography. Set on the French Riviera and southwest England, shot partially on location in Big Sur, Palos Verdes, and Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, California.
