The 1940 film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's gothic romance
Rebecca begins by echoing the novel's famous opening line, 'Last
night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.' Patricia White takes the
theme of return as her starting point for an exploration of the
film's enduring power. Drawing on archival research, she shows how
the production and reception history of Rebecca, the first fruit of
the collaboration between Hollywood movie producer David O.
Selznick and British director Alfred Hitchcock, is marked by the
traces of women's contributions. White provides a rich analysis of
the film, addressing the gap between perception and reality that is
constantly in play in the gothic romance, and highlighting the
queer erotics circulating around 'I' (the heroine), Mrs Danvers,
and the dead but ever-present Rebecca. Her discussion of the film's
afterlives emphasizes the lasting aesthetic impact of this dark
masterpiece of memory and desire, while her attention to its
remakes and sequels speaks to the ongoing relevance of its vision
of gender and power.
