George Sanders through Hitchcock’s Shadow When you dig into the archives, you find George Sanders cast by Hitchcock in Rebecca (1940), moving like a serpent in the shadows of Manderley. Yet, you don’t find Herbert‑style love letters from Hitchcock to Sanders, no glowing public praise, no recorded interviews where Hitchstroke calls him “tall, divine.” What you do find is respect in casting: Sanders plays Jack Favell with elegance and menace, exactly the sort of quietly sinister role Hitch loved.
