Drama at Leytonstone. Today you have it all. Jealousy, fear and obsession.Alfred Hitchcock was born in this town (near the end of the central line. (That's the red one on the tube map for the out of towners).
To mark one hundred years since the birth of their local hero, with the slightly odd upbringing, (No wonder he became fascinated with psychological thrillers) stunning mosaics depicting scenes from his movies and portraits of his life were installed in Leystone tube station.
The scene shown here is from Rebecca. Hitchcock's first American movie. Made in 1940, starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine.
The new Mrs De Winter is being encouraged by Mrs Danvers (the jealous housekeeper) to commit suicide. Mrs Danvers had an obsession with Rebecca (the first Mrs De Winter) and wont accept the new wife.
Great Hitchcock drama.
