Alfred Hitchcock''s film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier''s gothic romance ''Rebecca'' opens, like the novel, with the famous line ''Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again''. Patricia White takes the theme of return as her starting point for her exploration of the film''s production and reception history, drawing on original archival research to uncover how ''Rebecca'' became the first fruit of the collaboration between the Hollywood movie producer David O. Selznick and the British director Alfred Hitchcock, while stressing the centrality of women to the production - not only the stars Joan Fontaine as the anonymous second Mrs de Winter, and the brooding figure of Mrs. Danvers, played by Judith Anderson, but agent Kay Brown who brought du Maurier''s novel to Selznick; Joan Harrison, who shared a screenwriting credit for the movie, and of course, the author herself.
White goes on to provide a rich textual analysis of the film, addressing the film and the novel''s status as gothic romances, in which the gap between perception and reality is constantly in play, and highlighting the queer erotics of the relationship between 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 Carol (2015) emphasises the lasting aesthetic and narrative impact of Hitchcock''s dark masterpiece of memory and desire.> -

Citizen Kane's reputation as one of the greatest films of all time is matched only by the accumulation of critical commentary that surrounds it. What more can there be to say about a masterpiece so universally acknowledged? Laura Mulvey, in a fresh and original reading, illuminates the richness of the film, both thematically and stylistically, relating it to Welles's political background and its historical context. In a lucid and perceptive critique she also investigates the psychoanalytic structure that underlies the film's presentation of Kane's biography, for once taking seriously what Orson Welles himself disparagingly referred to as 'dollar-book Freud.' In her foreword to this special edition, published to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the BFI Film Classics series, Laura Mulvey focuses on the film's politics, highlighting the contemporary 'rhymes' in Kane's portrayal of a scandal-prone press baron in a time of economic crisis.
