My Cousin Rachel (1952)
Director: Henry Koster
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This Daphne du Maurier adaptation rather pales beside the earlier Rebecca, although the ingredients - death and a mysterious femme fatale - are not dissimilar. Burton was Oscar-nominated for his Hollywood debut as the young Englishman both distrustful of and attracted to de Havilland, the woman who may have fatally poisoned his foster father. Thick with studio atmospherics, but the resolution is weak.Author: TJ
