Based on the best-selling novel by Daphne du Maurier (author of the peerless Rebecca), 1952’s My Cousin Rachel weaves an eerie tale of Gothic romance-drama, set against the backdrop of the wild, rock-ribbed Cornish coast.

Richard Burton and Olivia de Havilland in My Cousin Rachel

Richard Burton (The Sandpiper), in his first American film role, stars as an anguished young Englishman, torn between dark suspicion of and uncontrollable passion for his guardian’s widow, the alluring and mysterious Rachel (Olivia de Havilland, Gone With The Wind).

With atmospheric direction by Henry Koster (Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation) and a darkly romantic score by Franz Waxman (Sunset Boulevard), My Cousin Rachel is a seductive entry in the annals of cinematic ambiguity.
