Part film history, part cultural critique, and heavy with bejeweled gowns, I explore the intersections between fame, glamour, fashion, and film. And the role they have played in constructing and influencing American culture throughout the last 100 years.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/window-dressing-6423947"},"episode":{"title":"Rebecca (Fuss and Fire)","slug":"rebecca-fuss-and-fire","published_at":"2025-11-15T21:50:31+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/window-dressing-6423947/rebecca-fuss-and-fire","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/window-dressing-6423947","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madelaine-jane-auble/episodes/Rebecca-Fuss-and-Fire-e3b0ujs","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e33b20fc/podcast/play/111228988/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-10-15%2F412542170-44100-2-c3139d4537688.m4a","summary":"In this episode, I discuss Rebecca. The beloved book written by Daphne Du Maurier was adapted for the screen in 1940 by Hitchcock and features former Heathcliff actor, fresh from the moors of Wuthering Heights the year before, Lawrence Olivier. He plays Maximillion De Winter, the widowed gentleman of the manor, Manderley. His young, and I mean young, bride is the no-name narrator of the story—Played by Joan Fontaine. The most brilliant of all the characters, except for Manderly itself, which takes on a Howards End level of lore throughout the story, is Rebecca. The remnants of her ghost are what keep the mystery of love alive in the brick and mortar alter that the living cohabitate in.
