  Taylor's character, Helen, is one of the screen's great ones.
  Welles, btw, is reputed to have assisted quite a bit in the direction. Note the strange camera angles, the chiaroscuro lighting, the unusually framed closeups? And the glorious, though brief, cameo by Agnes Moorehead: pure gold.
  Welles creation I'd put against that of Olivier's, too. More.... manly!

    Well actually before posting I look at some clips, and my feeling stay: A feeling of carton pâte...
    Now the angle of the faces as photographed were astonishing, that is true but the whole remain unconvincing.
    
    For me.
    It is a B movie.
    
    While Rebecca an A+++++ Or some of Lean´s in the same spirit too.
