Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the only Alfred Hitchcock film to win the Oscar for Best Picture?"
...Released in 1940, Rebecca is the only film directed by Alfred Hitchcock to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Produced by David O. Selznick, the film is based on Daphne du Maurier’s novel and tells the haunting story of a young, naive bride overshadowed by her husband’s late first wife. While Hitchcock received multiple nominations for Best Director throughout his long and illustrious career, he never actually won the award, making Rebecca’s Best Picture victory a unique and somewhat ironic distinction in his filmography.
