My Cousin Rachel is a 1952 film directed by Henry Koster, starring Richard Burton and Olivia de Havilland. It is based on the 1951 novel of the same name by Daphne du Maurier.It is set in coastal Cornwall in the early 19th century. Phillip Ashley (Burton) is a callow youth who has grown up in the lap of luxury, as the ward of his uncle Ambrose. When Phillip is in his early 20s uncle Ambrose goes to the warmer climates of Italy to restore his health. From there he sends Phillip a letter telling him that he is getting married to a woman named Rachel Sangaletti, the widow of an Italian count.Phillip is disappointed to read that his uncle's return home is delayed but he grows even more concerned when more disturbing letters arrive. Written in an unsteady scrawl, they tell Phillip that Rachel and her lawyer friend Guido are conspiring to murder him. Phillip sets off for Florence but arrives to find that his uncle has already died and that Rachel has gone away. Guido brushes off Phillip's suspicions, telling him that the estate was left to him and not Rachel, and that Ambrose's accusations were the result of a brain tumor that left him mentally unbalanced.Phillip returns home. Eventually his "cousin Rachel" (de Havilland) shows up for a surprise visit. She is beautiful and charming, and passionate Phillip soon finds himself falling in love with her and giving her a generous allowance from the estate. But soon events take a turn, Phillip finds himself ill for the first time in his life, and he starts to wonder if Ambrose was right after all.Hollywood film debut and Star-Making Role for Burton, who had made a name for himself on the London stage but whose movie career had been only a few scattered parts in the British film industry. A movie comeback role for de Havilland, who had taken three years away from Hollywood to act on the stage.The book was adapted again to film in 2017, starring Rachel Weisz as Rachel, Sam Claflin as Philip, Iain Glen as Nick, and Holliday Grainger as Louise. | |

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named | |
| My Cousin Rachel (1952) / int_16838478 | comment |
The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: Ambrose's father died of a tumor in the brain, and Rachel and Guido attribute both Ambrose's death and the terrifying letters he sent to Phillip to a tumor in his brain that affected his mental state. The word "cancer" is not used. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| My Cousin Rachel (1952) / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: We never do find out if Rachel really did kill her husband and whether or not she was poisoning Phillip. Phillip's last line of dialogue has him saying "Were you innocent, or were you guilty? Rachel my torment." | |

If I Can't Have You…: "Never leave me, you understand?", says Phillip to Rachel, right after he's done strangling her for a little bit. | |

Betty and Veronica | |
| My Cousin Rachel (1952) / int_94e4c8ab | comment |
Betty and Veronica: There's Louise, daughter of Phillip's neighbor and estate trustee Nicholas, who is beautiful and seems a natural match for Phillip, but is also young and virginal—the Betty. Then there's Rachel, a good decade older than Phillip, darkly sensual, who apparently becomes his lover—the Veronica. | |

The Film of the Book | |
| My Cousin Rachel (1952) / int_b9af5ef3 | comment |
The Film of the Book: Critics enjoyed the 1952 film, but du Maurier apparently felt it was not as faithful to the book's spirit as it should have been. | |

Murder by Inaction: Rachel says she's going to be walking along a route that Phillip knows to be dangerously unsafe, because the carpenter told him the bridge has not been finished yet. He doesn't say anything. She falls to her death. | |

Letting Her Hair Down | |
| My Cousin Rachel (1952) / int_ccfc0535 | comment |
Letting Her Hair Down: Rachel has her hair all done up in sort of a proto-version of the Princess Leia bun. So it makes a dramatic moment when she comes into Phillip's bedroom for the first time, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, and kisses him. | |
