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. Illuminating Rebecca's production and reception history through archival research and interpretation of robust existing scholarship, she recounts how '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. The onscreen spell cast by stars Joan Fontaine as the tentative, unnamed protagonist, and Judith Anderson as the brooding Mrs. Danvers, is enriched by the behind-the-scenes labor of women like story editor Kay Brown and screenwriter Joan Harrison, and by the prodigious imagination of du Maurier and her devoted readers. White goes on to provide a rich textual 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 the heroine, Mrs. Danvers, and the dead but ever-present Rebecca. Her discussion of the film's afterlives in both Classical Hollywood and contemporary cinema, from Citizen Kane (1941) to Phantom Thread (2015), emphasises 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.--
