Abstract
This chapter exposes the ways in which cinema has been linked to the supernatural and focuses in particular on 1940s Romantic-Gothic films which are underpinned by a ubiquitous tension between art and death. A number of films are analysed in which the parallelism between art (portraiture, specifically) and death is evident, including John Harlow’s While I Live (1947), Terence Young’s Corridor of Mirrors (1948), and William Dieterle’s Portrait of Jennie (1948).
