Our marriage is a success, isn’t it? A great success? We’re happy, aren’t we? Terribly happy?
Rebecca (1940) dir. Alfred Hitchcock
“last night i dreamt i went to manderley again. it seemed to me i stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me. then, like all dreamers, i was possessed of a sudden with supernatural powers and passed like a spirit through the barrier before me. the drive wound away in front of me, twisting and turning as it had always done. but as i advanced, i was aware that a change had come upon it. nature had come into her own again, and little by little had encroached upon the drive with long, tenacious fingers. on and on wound the poor thread that had once been our drive, and finally there was manderley. manderley - secretive and silent. time could not mar the perfect symmetry of those walls. moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, and suddenly it seemed to me that light came from the windows. and then a cloud came upon the moon and hovered an instant like a dark hand before a face. the illusion went with it. i looked upon a desolate shell with no whisper of the past about its staring walls. we can never go back to manderley again. that much is certain. but sometimes, in my dreams i do go back to the strange days of my life, which began for me in the south of france.” | rebecca (1940)

SLIPPING IT PAST THE CENSORS IN 1945
Stella: “I like the way you talk.” Eric: “I like the way you dance.”
Somebody needs to give a big shiny medal to Joseph LaShelle –cinematographer and, quite frankly, my hero. If not for his clever lighting and camera angle this risqué open-mouthed kiss might have ended up on the cutting room floor.
Here’s the plot: smooth-talking drifter Eric (Dana Andrews) has been chasing streetwise Stella (Linda Darnell) ever since she walked into the diner and kicked off her shoes. Stella initially gave zero fucks about Eric and his empty wallet, but somehow he’s managed to charm her into going dancing.
These two characters are so well matched in their seduction skills. It’s like watching two heavyweights go head-to-head, except, y’know, sexier and without all the punching and stuff. So it makes sense that when they eventually kiss, it’s going to be gooooooooood. Was there tongue? Was there an awkward boner? I guess we’ll never know for sure…
